ANGLE BISECTORS
(Chapter 2.2)
VOCABULARY
• Angle Bisector: a ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles
110
A
B C
D
BD bisects ABC, and m ABC = 110.
Therefore, the m ABD and m BDC is half of m ABC.110
2 = 55m ABD and m BDC
is 55.
EXAMPLE #1
m GHJ = 52 HK is the angle bisector.
m GHK = m JHK =&26 26
EXAMPLE #2
m GHJ = 90 HK is the angle bisector.
m GHK = m JHK =&45 45
EXAMPLE #3
m GHJ = 161 HK is the angle bisector.
m GHK = m JHK =&80.5 80.5

6x = 846 6x = 14
9x = 8x + 3-8x -8x
x = 3
x + 12 = 55-12 -12
