OBJECTIVES

To understand and use the Angle Bisector, Midsegment and Side-Splitter Theorems

LESSON 5.4: ANGLE SPLITTER, SIDE SPLITTER, MIDSEGMENT 3

ANGLE BISECTOR

ANGLE BISECTOR is created when a line (the bisector) passes through a vertex of an angle, creating two equal smaller angles.

LESSON 5.4: ANGLE SPLITTER, SIDE SPLITTER, MIDSEGMENT 4

ANGLE BISECTOR

1) Find 𝑥 if 𝑚∠1 = 6 + 3𝑥 and 𝑚∠2 = 4𝑥 − 4. 𝐸𝑃 is an angle bisector of ∠𝐸.

ANGLE BISECTOR

2) Find 𝑥 if 𝑚∠1 = 2𝑥 + 10 and 𝑚∠2 = 3𝑥 + 3. 𝑃𝑊 is an angle bisector of ∠𝑊.

ANGLE BISECTOR

3) Find 𝑥 if 𝑚∠1 = 25𝑥 + 1 and 𝑚∠𝐴𝐶𝐵 = 51𝑥 + 1. 𝑃𝐶 is an angle bisector of ∠𝐶.

ANGLE BISECTOR THEOREM

ANGLE BISECTOR THEOREMIf an angle of a triangle is bisected, then the angle bisector divides the opposite side of the triangle into two segments that are proportional to the other two sides of the triangle.

SIDE-SPLITTER THEOREM

LESSON 5.4: ANGLE SPLITTER, SIDE SPLITTER, MIDSEGMENT 13

If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects other two sides of triangle, then it will divide other two sides proportionally.

MIDSEGMENT

•MIDSEGMENTS are line segments created by connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.
