  1. 1.5 Segment & Angle Bisectors

  2. Objectives/Assignment • Bisect a segment • Bisect an angle • Assignment: 2-48 even

  3. Always Remember! • If they are congruent, then set their measures equal to each other!

  4. Goal 1: Bisecting a Segment • 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

  5. Segment Bisector • A segment, ray, line, or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint. k A M B

  6. Compass & Straightedge • Tools used for creating geometric constructions • We will do an activity with these later.

  7. 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

  8. Example: Find the midpoint of SP if S(-3,-5) & P(5,11).

  9. Example: The midpoint of AB is M(2,4). One endpoint is A(-1,7). Find the coordinates of B.

  10. Goal 2: Bisecting an Angle • Angle Bisector: A ray that divides an angle into 2 congruent adjacent angles. BD is an angle bisector of <ABC. A D B C

  11. Example: If FH bisects EFG & mEFG=120o, what is mEFH? E H F G

  12. 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

  13. Activity Time • Use your compass, protractor and straightedge to work on the three activities in this section. • Pg 33, 34, 36
