Constructing the Angle Bisector + Practice

Explore the entire construction in the app above, then use the GeoGebra tools to draw segments and , then consider the triangles and . Show that the two triangles are congruent, that proves that line contains the bisector of the angle .

Define an angle bisector.

Two adjacent supplementary angles are such that one is three times the other, and their bisector form a angle. Find the measure of each angle.

Two complementary angles are adjacent. Find the measure of the angle created by their bisectors.

If a statement is false, correct it to make it true, or provide a counterexample.

1. The angle bisectors of vertical angles lay on the same line.
2. Two complementary angles have the same line bisector.
3. An angle can have more than one bisector.
