The Geometric Drawing in Multimedia

An angle bisector is the semi-straight, which originates at the vertex of the angle, which divides it into two congruent angles, this animation is part of the educational program The Geometric Drawing in Multimedia.

Compass is a design tool that makes arcs and circles. It also serves to solve some geometric problems.

Charting bisect an angle with straightedge and compass

Procedure:

1. Trace an arc with the center on the vertex of the given angle, point A, and find B and C;
2. Without changing the radius, trace an arc with center in B;
3. Without changing the radius, draw an arc with center in C to find D;
4. With the ruler, trace a segment by connecting  A and D;
5. The segment AD is the bisector of the angle BAC;
