Section 3-4 Constructing Angle Bisectors
Constructing Bisectors P. 159 Investigation Draw an acute angle on patty paper. Construct the angle bisector by folding the angle.
Place a point on your angle bisector. Label it A Place a point on your angle bisector. Label it A. Compare the distance from A to each side of the angle. Remember that distance means “shortest distance.” If a point is on the bisector of an angle, then it is _____________________ from the sides of the angle.
P. 160 Investigation Draw an angle. Find a method for constructing the bisector of the angle.
Match each geometric construction with its diagram.
P. 161 construct a figure with the given specifications
