Angle Bisectors



Angle Bisectors-Cuts an angle in half
Small circles are used to show angles are equal.




There are 3 methods to make an angle bisector.
Method 1-use a compass
1-Sharp point on the vertex
2-make an arc that intersects both rays of the angle ,label those intersections
3-from the two new intersections make two more arcs
4-with a ruler draw a line from the arc intersection to the vertex
5-that line in your angle bisector
IF you followed the instructions you should have the picture on the top right.

Method 2-use a protractor
1-measure the angle measurement by 2
2-divide the angle measurement by 2
3-mark the halfway point using the protractor
4-use a ruler to connect the halfway point to the vertex
5-that is your angle bisector

Method 3-Paper Folding
1-fold one ray directly onto the other ray
2-the crease is the angle bisector
--------------------------------------------------------------
Acute angle is less that 90°
Obtuse angle is more than 90° but less that 180°

Good job Hendrix! I liked how explained and gave the different methods of how to bisect an angle in half. But I think you should give a link to help them understand more. www.woodgears.ca/eyeball/index.html

Nice job!Your scribe really makes sence to me because I can understand how you did it by explaining it step by step and you added picture about angle bisector. My only suggestion is change some word to different color just like what Carlo said.

Great job Hendrix! I liked how you explained how to use an angle bisector. I think this will be good for other people around the world so if they ever have any trouble on how to make an angle bisector, they can read your blog. But maybe to make the blog alittle more interesting you should of maybe added a good website for views to play on but anyways, good job!
