MINI LESSON
Perpendicular bisector -is a line segment forms a 90⁰ angle. It goes through
the midpoint on the opposite side.
Example:
FD is a perpendicular
bisector
D is the Midpoint of BA
BD = DA
D
BD + DA = BA
Angle BDF = 90⁰
Angle bisector – is a line segment that bisects one of the

vertex angles of a triangle. It divides the angle into two equal angles.
B Angle bisector
BD is an angle bisector
∠ABD = ∠CBD
∠ABD + ∠CBD =∠ABC

Example 1:
Consider ∆TMY is an isosceles triangle with TM ≅ TY. Is ∠M ≅ ∠Y? Justify your answer by
completing the two-way proof.
T
Statements Reasons
1. Construct angle bisector Every angle has 1 angle
TO to ∠T bisector
2. ∠MTO ≅ ∠YTO Definition of a bisector
3. TM ≅ TY Given
4. MO ≅ YO Definition of a midpoint

6. ∠M ≅ ∠ Y CPCTC C
M
Isosceles Triangle Theorem: If two sides of a triangle are O
congruent then the angles opposite these sides are congruent.
TM ≅ TY, the opposite angle of TM is ∠Y, and the opposite angle of TY is ∠ M, therefore ∠Y
≅∠M
Example 2:
Given: ∆ CIS, with base angles ∠C and ∠S, IO is the angle bisector of ∠CIS
Prove: IO is the perpendicular bisector of CS
Statements Reasons
1. ∆CIS, with base angles
∠C and ∠S, IO is the Given
angle bisector of ∠CIS

8. ∠IOC = ∠IOS = 90⁰ perpendicular bisector
Definition of a
9. IO is the perpendicular perpendicular bisector
bisector of CS (6-9)
Example 3:
QS is the angle bisector of ∆PQR.
1. Find the m∠SQR if the m∠PQR is 72°.
2. Find the measure of RS if the measure of PR is 18m.
Q
S
We all know that the definition of an angle bisector, divides the angle into two equal angles.
Therefore, m∠SQP ≅ m∠SQR.
Solutions:
1 1
1. m∠PQR = m∠SQR 2.PR = RS
2 2
1 1
(72°) = m∠SQR (18) = RS
2 2
Answer: m∠SQR= 36° 9 = RS
Answer: RS = 9m
Example 4:
BA≅ BC and ∠BAD ≅ ∠BCD
1. Find the values of x and y to make this
triangles congruent.
2. What is the measure of the congruent

side BA and BC, and the congruent
angles ∠BAD and ∠BCD?
Solutions:
Find the value of x Find the value of y
BA≅ BC ∠BAD ≅ ∠BCD

3x – 11 = x + 5 4y – 1 = y + 41
3x–x –11= x –x + 5 4y–y –1= y –y + 41
2x -11 = 5 3y -1 = 41
2x–11+11= 5+11 3y–1+1= 41+1
2x = 16 3y = 42
2=2 3=3
Answer: x = 8 Answer: y = 14
Substitute the value of to the equations: Substitute the value of y to the equations:
3x – 11 = x + 5 4y – 1 = y + 41
3(8)–11= (8 + 5) 4(14)–1 = (14) + x 41
24 – 11= 13 56 – 1= 55
13 = 13 55 = 55
Answer: BA ≅ BC ≅ 13 m Answer: ∠BAD ≅ ∠BCD ≅ 55⁰
