Bisecting an Angle
Objective: Divide angle ABC into two congruent segments. |
![]() |
1.- Label the angle ( ABC ). |
2.- Place the tip of the
compass at point B,
and draw an arc intercepting segment AB and segment BC at points F and E.
|
|
3.- Use E and F as
centers to draw two
arcs of equal radii intersecting at point D. - another explanation- - Place the tip of the compass, first at E and then at F, to draw the two arcs intersecting at point D.
|
|
4.- Draw a straight line from B and passing
through point D. - Line BD bisects the angle ABC. |
