Imagine a sheet of paper with two lines drawn on it, as shown in the attachment provided. Without extending the paper or the lines, construct the bisector of the angle determined by the two lines.

Hello, MATNTRNG!

Imagine a sheet of paper with two lines drawn on it, as shown.
Without extending the paper or the lines, construct the bisector
of the angle determined by the two lines.

Given two nonparallel line segments and .

Construct line , parallel to and units from line

Construct line , parallel to and units from line

They intersect at point which lies on the angle bisector.


Repeat the procedure with distance
. . and locate point


Draw the line through and
