1.5.3 Bisect This (Part 2)

Now we are going to learn how to construct an "angle bisector" or in other words, construct a line that cuts the angle in half.

On the left is a picture of the construction of a "perpendicular bisector". On the right is a picture of the construction of an "angle bisector".

How are these two constructions related? What similiarites do you see? What differences?

What is true about segments EI and EH (on angle bisector construction)?

The first step in the construction of an "angle bisector" is to make points I and H. What construction step (digital tool) was used to get the location of points I and H?

Line CD is the perpendicular bisector of AB. Line JE is the perpendicular bisector of which segment? (Hint: the "segment" is not actually visible)
