Angle Bisector Similarity

The figure is an example of a(n) ...

• angle bisector

• perpendicular bisector

• median

• midsegment

What is the missing statement in the proof?

• 2m∠ABD = m∠ABD + m∠ABD

• m∠ABD = m∠DBC

• m∠ABC = m∠ABC

• m∠ABD +m∠ABD = m∠ABD + m∠DBC

Given: m∠LAN = 30⁰ , m∠1 = 15⁰
Prove: AM bisects ∠LAN
Step 1: m∠LAN = 30⁰ 
Step 2: m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠LAN
Step 3: m∠1 + m∠2 = 30⁰
Step 4: m∠1 = 15⁰
Step 5: 15⁰ + m∠2 = 30⁰
Step 6: m∠2 = 15⁰
Step 7: m∠1 = m∠2
What is the justification for Step 7?

• Subtraction property of equality

• Transitive property of equality

• Addition property of equality

• Definition of congruent angles

What is reason 2?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Angle JHG measures 161.

• m∠GHK=80.5,

  m∠KHJ=161

• m∠GHK=161,

  m∠KHJ=80.5

• m∠GHK=80.5,

  m∠KHJ=80.5

• m∠GHK=161,

  m∠KHJ=161

What is the reason?

• Definition of bisects

• Definition of Congruence

If DB bisects ∠ABC, then ∠ABD = ∠CBD.
