2. Constructing Bisectors
P. 159 Investigation
Draw an acute angle on patty paper.
Construct the angle bisector by folding the angle.

3. 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.
