OBJECTIVE: Illustrates bisector of an angle

YOUR LESSON FOR TODAY:

➢ Illustrating Bisector of an Angle

In this lesson you will learn that an angle can be divided into two angles with exactly
the same measure by a ray which is called bisector of an angle or an angle bisector.

TRY TO DISCOVER!

Consider the figures below.

Based on the given figures, what then is an angle bisector?

➢ An angle bisector is a ray in the interior of the angle which divides the angle
into two congruent angles.

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ bisects ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 and 𝐴𝐷

➢ If D is in the interior of ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 and ∠𝐵𝐴𝐷 ≅ ∠𝐷𝐴𝐶, then 𝐴𝐷 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
is called the bisector of the angle.

If 𝑚∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 = 48, 𝑚∠𝐵𝐴𝐷 = 24,

𝑚∠𝐷𝐴𝐶 = 24 ∴ ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐴𝐷 bisects ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶.

A and B are points on opposite side of

⃡⃗⃗⃗
𝐶𝑌. C is in the interior of ∠𝐴𝑋𝐵, and
∠𝐴𝑋𝐶 ≅ ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐵𝑋𝐶 ∴ ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑋𝐶 bisects ∠𝐴𝑋𝐵.

➢ An angle has only one bisector.

Consider again another set of figures.

• ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ in the first figure not an angle bisector?

Why is 𝐾𝑅
Answer: The angle AKB is not divided into 2 ≅ angles.
• Why is ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐾𝑅 in the second figure not an angle bisector?
Answer: ∠𝐴𝐾𝐵 is not an acute angle nor an obtuse angle. There is no such
angle AKB larger than180°.
• Why is 𝐾𝑅
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ in the third figure not an angle bisector?
Answer: The sides opposite the angle was bisected. The angle must be bisected.

ARE YOU READY TO PRACTICE

A. In the figure below, ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗

𝑁𝐵 ̅ is an angle bisector of ∠𝐿𝑁𝑇. If m∠𝐿𝑁𝐵 = 32, what is the
measure of ∠𝑇𝑁𝐵? ∠𝐿𝑁𝑇?

Solution: Since ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗

𝑁𝐵 bisects ∠𝐿𝑁𝑇, m∠𝐿𝑁𝐵 = m∠𝑇𝑁𝐵
and m∠𝐿𝑁𝑇 = 2m∠𝐿𝑁𝐵. Hence,
m∠𝑇𝑁𝐵 = 32 and m∠𝐿𝑁𝑇 = 64.

𝐵 . ∠𝑍𝑃𝐽 is a right angle.

∠𝑈𝑃𝑆 is a right angle.
̅̅̅̅ bisects ∠𝑍𝑃𝐽
𝑃𝑈
̅̅̅̅
𝑃𝑍 bisects ∠𝑄𝑃𝑈
̅̅̅
𝑃𝐽 bisects ∠𝑆𝑃𝑈

Find the measure of each angle:

1. 𝑚∠𝑍𝑃𝑈 4. 𝑚∠𝑈𝑃𝑆
2. 𝑚∠𝑍𝑃𝑄 5. 𝑚∠𝐽𝑃𝑆
3. 𝑚∠𝑈𝑃𝐽 6. 𝑚∠𝑍𝑃𝑆

Solution:
̅̅̅̅ bisects ∠𝑍𝑃𝐽 which is a right angle, so 𝑚∠𝑍𝑃𝑈 = = 1 𝑚 ∠𝑍𝑃𝐽 = 45.
1. Since 𝑃𝑈 2
2. Since ̅̅̅̅
𝑃𝑍 bisects ∠𝑄𝑃𝑈 and ∠𝑄𝑃𝑈 is also a right angle, then 𝑚∠𝑍𝑃𝑄 = 45.

3. Since ̅̅̅̅
𝑃𝑈 bisects ∠𝑍𝑃𝐽 which is a right angle, so 𝑚∠𝑈𝑃𝐽 = 2 𝑚 ∠𝑍𝑃𝐽 = 45.
4. 𝑚∠𝑈𝑃𝑆 = 90.
5. 𝑚∠𝐽𝑃𝑆 = 45.
6. 𝑚∠𝑍𝑃𝑆 = 135.

̅̅̅̅ bisects ∠𝐻𝐺𝑇.
̅̅̅̅ is an altitude of △ 𝐻𝐺𝑇.
̅̅̅̅ is an altitude of △ 𝐻𝐹𝑇, and 𝐺𝑃
