Proportional Triangles Angle Bisector

Question 1: State the Angle Bisector Theorem.

• The angle bisector of a triangle has no effect on the opposite side.

• The angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side into segments that are proportional to the other two sides of the triangle.

• The angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side into segments that are equal to the other two sides of the triangle.

• The angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side into segments that are random lengths.
