Constructing an angle bisector RESOURCE DESCRIPTION

This is an illustrated step by step guide for constructing an angle bisector. Encourage independence and give to pupils as a worked example or as a revision tool.

Constructing an Angle Bisector

This resource provides step-by-step instructions for constructing an angle bisector (a line that divides an angle exactly in half) using a compass and a straight edge.

Why are angle bisectors important?

Angle bisectors have various applications:

Geometry: Solving problems and creating geometric proofs.
Design: Creating symmetrical patterns and shapes.
Real-world: Dividing plots of land or finding equal distances.
