Construct the angle bisector using only the circle and the
line tool. If you get stuck, you may reload the page
with the Reload button. Several circles
are required for this construction. It is possible to make
the circles appear as arcs. This
makes the construction much clearer.
You can make circles appear as arcs as follows:
- Using the Color
button, select the color Green.
- Use the Circle tool to make a
green circle centered at the angle's vertex and containing one of the
two points on the two black rays.
- Create
two points on the circle on either side of the point of intersection
between circle and ray.
- Right click on the circle. The dialog box appears.
- Click on "Set Arc" at bottom left of the dialog box. The
dialog box disappears.
- Now click on the two points you have just created.
The circle will disappear, and only the arc will remain.
- To
make the arc's endpoints disappear, right click on one of the
endpoints, then select the "Hide Objects" tool. Repeat for the second
endpoint.
