MATHS - Geometry - Angle Bisector

The video tutorial explains how to bisect an angle using a compass, pencil, and ruler. It begins with an introduction to the tools needed and the concept of angle bisecting, which involves creating a path equidistant from the edges of a boundary. The tutorial then provides step-by-step instructions on drawing arcs with a compass to find the angle bisector. Finally, it concludes with a summary of the process, emphasizing the importance of drawing two sets of arcs to accurately bisect the angle.

What tools are necessary to construct a path equidistant from the boundary edges?

• A protractor, pencil, and ruler

• A compass, pencil, and ruler

• A compass, eraser, and ruler

• A protractor, eraser, and ruler

What does it mean to bisect an angle?

• To ignore the angle

• To cut the angle in half

• To double the angle

• To measure the angle

Where should you place the compass to start drawing the first arc?

• At the vertex of the angle

• At the point where the arc crosses the line

• At the midpoint of the boundary

• At the end of the boundary

What is the significance of the point where the two arcs intersect?

• It is the endpoint of the path

• It is the starting point of the path

• It is the midpoint of the boundary

• It is the angle bisector

What is the final step in constructing the path?

• Erase the arcs

• Draw the line with a ruler

• Measure the angle

• Change the compass width
