Angle Bisector and Addition Postulates, Types of Angles
Angle Addition Postulate : if two angles are adjacent then their sum is equal to the outer angle.
A
B C
D
ABD + DBC = ABC
Acute angle : is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees
Right angle is always 90 degrees.
Obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.
Symbol means 90 degrees
Straight angle is 180 degrees.
Midpoint of a Segment : divides a segment into two congruent parts. ( two equal lengths )A B C
Point B divides AC into two congruent parts
Perpendicular Lines : are lines that intersect at 90 degrees.
Symbol
Perpendicular Bisector : is a line that divides a segment into two congruent parts at 90 degrees.
midpoint
90 degrees
Congruent Segments
Angle Bisector : is a ray that divides an angle into two congruent parts.
Angle bisector
symbol for congruent angles
The angle was divided into two equal sizes.
Ray BD is the angle bisector of the angle ABC. If angle ABD is (2x – 4) degrees and angle ABC is (6x – 42)° , how any degrees is angle DBC ?
A
