Angle Bisector • A ray that divides an angle into 2 congruent adjacent angles. BD is an angle bisector of <ABC. A D B C
#2 you try: If FH bisects EFG & mEFG=130o, what is mEFH? H E F G
EX #3!!: Find mCBD * If they are congruent, set them equal to each other, then solve! C A x+40o x+40 = 3x-20 40 = 2x-20 60 = 2x 30 = x 3x-20o D B 3x-20o = 3(30)-20 = 70o
#4 you try!!: Find mABD * If they are congruent, set them equal to each other, then solve! C A x+40o x+40 = 3x-20 40 = 2x-20 60 = 2x 30 = x 3x-20o D B Since both angles are congruent, 70o +70o =140º 3x-20o = 3(30)-20 = 70o
