1.5 Segment & Angle Bisectors Geometry Fall 2005 Mrs. Spitz
Learning Targets • I can bisect a segment. • I can bisect an angle.
Always Remember! • If they are congruent, then set their measures equal to each other!
Midpoint • The point that bisects a segment. • Bisects? splits into 2 equal pieces A M B 12x+3 10x+5 12x+3=10x+5 2x=2 x=1
Segment Bisector • A segment, ray, line, or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint. k A M B
Compass & Straightedge • Tools used for creating geometric constructions • We will do a project with these later.
Midpoint Formula • Used for finding the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment in a coordinate plane. • If the endpoints are (x1,y1) & (x2,y2), then
Ex: The midpoint of AB is M(2,4). One endpoint is A(-1,7). Find the coordinates of B.
Angle Bisector • A ray that divides an angle into 2 congruent adjacent angles. BD is an angle bisector of <ABC. A D B C
Last example: Solve for x. * If they are congruent, set them equal to each other, then solve! x+40o x+40 = 3x-20 40 = 2x-20 60 = 2x 30 = x 3x-20o
