Question

After bisecting an angle measuring 76, Heather has two angles. What is the measure of eachnew angle?

Answer 1

When an angle is bisected, two equal angles are created, and each of these new angles are equal to half the original angle.

So we have that:

$\begin{gathered} \text{initial angle}=2\cdot\text{new angle} \\ 76=2\cdot\text{new angle} \\ \text{new angle}=\frac{76}{2}=38\degree \end{gathered}$

So the measure of both new angles is 38°.
