Task #3 Angle Bisector
1. Use the Ray tool to draw rays AB and AC, creating angle CAB. (Tip: Give yourself room to maneuver by creating an obtuse angle. Place B relatively close to A, and C farther away.)
2. Use the Circle with Center through Point tool to create a circle with center A through point B.
3. Use the Intersect tool to mark the intersection of the circle with ray AC as point D.(Tip: Hover over the ray and circle until both are highlighted to make sure you mark the intersection of both.)
4. Use the Circle with Center through Point tool twice to construct (a) a circle with center B through point A and (b) a circle with center D through point A.
5. Use the Intersect tool to mark the intersection of the two circles from Step 4 (not A, the other point of intersection) as point E.
6. Use the ray tool to construct ray AE. This is the Angle Bisector!
7. Clean up the window by hiding the circles. This will automatically hide some of the points as well.
8. Use the Angle tool to check your answer by measuring. Be careful- the order in which you click points is very important! First, Click B, A, E (in that order) to measure angle BAE. Then, Click E, A, D (in that order) to measure angle EAD.
9. Use the Move tool (just a pointer) to drag the angle labels out so you can read them clearly.
10. Use the Move tool to drag point C until both halves of the angle are as close to 50 degrees as you can get them.
