Therefore, each of these points lies on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment. Use your straightedge to draw a line connecting the two intersection points P and Q. This line bisects the given line segment AB, and is called the bisector or, more accurately, the perpendicular bisector of AB.
What are the steps to bisecting an angle?
- STEPS:
- Place compass point on the vertex of the angle (point B).
- Stretch the compass to any length that will stay ON the angle.
- Swing an arc so the pencil crosses both sides (rays) of the given angle. ...
- Place the compass point on one of these new intersection points on the sides of the angle.
What tool is used to construct an angle bisector?
Sal constructs a line that bisects a given angle using compass and straightedge.
