QuestionConstruct the bisector of A\angle A. This forms two angles whose measure is 12mA\frac{1}{2} m \angle A. Then construct the bisector of one of the resulting angles to form an angle whose measure is 14mA\frac{1}{4} m \angle A.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We have a given angle, A\angle A. . We have a compass and a straightedge for the construction.
3. We are to construct an angle whose measure is 14mA\frac{1}{4} m \angle A.

STEP 2

First, we need to bisect the given angle A\angle A. This can be done using a compass and a straightedge.

STEP 3

The process of bisecting an angle involves drawing an arc centered at the vertex of the angle that intersects both rays of the angle. Then, without changing the compass width, draw an arc from each of the points where the first arc intersects the rays. The intersection of these two arcs lies on the angle bisector.

STEP 4

By bisecting A\angle A, we form two angles whose measures are 12mA\frac{1}{2} m \angle A.

STEP 5

Next, we need to bisect one of the resulting angles to form an angle whose measure is 14mA\frac{1}{4} m \angle A.

STEP 6

Repeat the process of bisecting an angle on one of the resulting angles from the previous step.

STEP 7

By bisecting one of the angles whose measure is 12mA\frac{1}{2} m \angle A, we form an angle whose measure is 14mA\frac{1}{4} m \angle A.
Fill in the blanks. Construct the bisector of A\angle A. This forms two angles whose measure is 12mA\frac{1}{2} m \angle A. Then construct the bisector of one of the resulting angles to form an angle whose measure is 14mA\frac{1}{4} m \angle A.
