Angle Construction

What is the first step in constructing an angle bisector?

• Draw a straight line and place the compass on the other end of the line.

• Draw a straight line and place the compass on the middle of the line.

• Draw a straight line and place the compass on one end of the line.

• Place the compass pin on the vertex and draw an arc .

What is the purpose of drawing an arc that intersects both sides of the angle in angle bisector construction?

• To determine the length of the angle bisector.

• To find 2-points of intersection, which are the same distance to the vertex of the Angle.

• To create a right angle.

• To find the midpoint of the angle.

In angle bisector construction, what is the second step after drawing the first arc?

• Draw 2nd arc by placing pin of compass on one of the intersections of 1st (red) arc and side of the angle

• Draw a straight line

• Draw a circle

• Draw a line segment

What is the final step in constructing an angle bisector?

• Draw a line that intersects the angle at a right angle.

• Draw a line that connects the two endpoints of the angle.

• Draw a line that connect the vertex and passes through the intersection of the 2-arcs. This line divides vertex into two equal angles.

• Draw a line that passes through one of the sides of the angle.
