1. Define an angle bisector in your own words.
2. If ray BD bisects angle ABC, and m∠ABD = 35°, what is m∠ABC?
35°
70°
17.5°
140°
3. The angle bisector theorem states that if a point is on the bisector of an angle, then it is from the two sides of the angle.
4. To construct an angle bisector, you use a compass to draw arcs from the of the angle.
5. In the diagram below, ray QS bisects ∠PQR. If m∠PQS = (3x + 10)° and m∠SQR = (x + 40)°, find the value of x and m∠PQR.
6. Every triangle has exactly three angle bisectors.
True
False
7. Describe the steps to construct the bisector of a given angle using only a compass and straightedge.
