Ruler and Compass Construction 10
Bisector of a Given Angle
Reset
1. Circle centered at A of arbitrary radius
2. Circle centered at D of arbitrary radius
3. Circle centered at E of the same radius
4. Angle bisector AF
Why it works:
AD = AE and DF = EF by construction, and AF = AF by reflexivity, so triangle ADF is congruent
to triangle AEF by SSS. Hence angle DAF equals angle EAF.
