If $$AB = 10$$ and $$AC = 15$$ , what is the ratio of $$BD$$ to $$DC$$ if $$D$$ is on the angle bisector of $$\triangle ABC$$ ?

The ratio $$\frac{BD}{DC} = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{10}{15} = \frac{2}{3}$$ .

If $$\triangle ABC$$ has $$\theta = 80^\text{o}$$ , what are the measures of $$\triangle ABD$$ and $$\triangle ACD$$ if $$AD$$ is the angle bisector?

Both angles $$\triangle ABD$$ and $$\triangle ACD$$ measure $$40^\text{o}$$ .

What is the significance of the point where the perpendicular bisector intersects a segment?

The intersection point is the midpoint of the segment, and it is equidistant from both endpoints.

If $$\triangle ABC$$ has sides $$AB = 8$$ and $$AC = 6$$ , what is the length of $$BD$$ if $$D$$ is on the angle bisector of $$\triangle ABC$$ ?

Using the Angle Bisector Theorem, $$BD = \frac{8}{8+6} \times DC$$ .

How can you verify if a point lies on the perpendicular bisector of a segment?

To verify, measure the distances from the point to each endpoint of the segment; if the distances are equal, the point lies on the perpendicular bisector.

What is the formula for finding the length of a segment using the coordinates of its endpoints?

The length of a segment with endpoints $$(x_1, y_1)$$ and $$(x_2, y_2)$$ is given by $$\text{Length} = \text{sqrt}((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)$$ .

If $$\triangle ABC$$ has angles $$\theta_1 = 30^\text{o}$$ and $$\theta_2 = 60^\text{o}$$ , what is the measure of $$\theta_3$$ ?

Using the triangle sum theorem, $$\theta_3 = 180^\text{o} - (30^\text{o} + 60^\text{o}) = 90^\text{o}$$ .

What is the relationship between the lengths of segments created by an angle bisector in a triangle?

The lengths of the segments created by an angle bisector are proportional to the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle.

If $$\triangle ABC$$ is isosceles with $$AB = AC$$ , what can be said about the angles opposite these sides?

The angles opposite the equal sides are also equal.
