How to …… Bisect an angle.
What? • ‘Bisect’ means to cut exactly in half. • If you bisect an angle, you get two equal angles e.g. if you bisect a 60° angle you get two 30° angles. • Any point on the angle bisector will be equidistant from the lines which make the original angle.
I was okay until the last bit. Angle bisector Equal lengths
Place the point on the vertex of the angle And draw 2 arcs.
Now place the compass pointwhere one of the arcs cross the line And draw another arc ‘inside’ the angle
Draw a line from where the arcscross to the vertex of the angle
You have bisected the angle Leave your arcs in situ
