Lesson Worksheet: Geometric Constructions: Angle Bisectors Mathematics
In this worksheet, we will practice constructing angle bisectors using rulers and compasses without protractors.
Q1:
What does the following figure illustrate?
- AAn angle congruent to another angle
- BA bisector of an angle
- CA perpendicular from a point lying outside a straight line
- DA bisector of a line segment
- EA straight line parallel to another line
Q2:
True or False: Using only a straight edge, you can construct an angle bisector.
- ATrue
- BFalse
Q3:
True or False: By using angle bisectors, we can divide an angle into 2 equal angles.
- AFalse
- BTrue
Q4:
Given that is a triangle, use a ruler and the compass to draw the triangle and bisect by the bisector that intersects at . Use the ruler to measure the length of to the nearest decimal.
- A3.7 cm
- B3.2 cm
- C5.2 cm
- D4.2 cm
- E4.7 cm
Q5:
Given that is a triangle, use a ruler and a compass to draw the triangle shown and bisect and by the bisectors and that intersect at . Use the ruler to measure the perimeter of the triangle to the nearest decimal.
- A18.4 cm
- B19.1 cm
- C17.9 cm
- D16.9 cm
- E17.6 cm
Q6:
Given that is a trapezoid, use a ruler and a compass to draw the trapezoid and bisect by the bisector that intersects at . Use the ruler to measure the length of to the nearest decimal.
- A12.0 cm
- B10.9 cm
- C14.1 cm
- D11.6 cm
