1 Angle Bisectors Only using a compass and ruler…. 1) Create a line starting at A, perpendicular to BC. (To start, you need to mark two places that are equidistant from A. Then, you can construct a perpendicular bisector. ) The line has been angled at A. 2) Repeat the same process to make a perpendicular bisector but join it to A. (Start by finding two places equidistant from A on both lines. ) B C A Is the perpendicular bisector actually perpendicular now? 3) Follow the same process. Which number does your bisector hit? 1 2 4) Angle BAC is 100° Can you make an angle of 50° without using a protractor? Which number does the line bisector hit? 34 5 B 1 2 3 B A What can we say about this line and BAC? 100° C A 4 5 C
Perpendicular Bisector 90° Cut in half.
