1.5 Notes• Segment and Angle Bisectors
The point that divides (or bisects) a segment into two congruent segments.
A segment, ray, line, or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint
When given two points A (x1, y1) and B (x2, y2):
Ex 1) Find the midpoint of DE with endpoints D(3,5) and E(-4, 0)

A ray that divides (or bisects) an angle into two adjacent angles that are congruent
BD is an angle bisector so:
Ex 5) JK bisects angle HJL. Given that HJL = 42o, what are the measures of the angles HJK and KJL?
42o
42/2 = 21o
Ex 6) A cellular phone tower bisects the angle formed by the two wires that support it. Find the measure of the angle formed by the two wires.
47(2) = 94o
Ex 7) In the diagram, MO bisects angle LMN. The measures of the two congruent angles are (3x – 20)o and (x + 10)o. Solve for x.
3x – 20 = x + 10
2x – 20 = 10
(3x – 20)o(x + 10)o
2x = 30
x = 15
Ex 8) In the diagram BD bisect angle ABC. Find x and use it to find the measures of the angles ABD, DBC, and ABC.
2x + 50 = 5x + 5
50 = 3x + 5
45 = 3x
x = 15
ABD = 2(15) + 50
= 80o
=CBD
ABC = 80(2)
ABC = 160o
