2. Prove the Angle Bisector Theorem.
The Angle Bisector Theorem states that an angle bisector of an angle of a triangle divides the opposite side in
two segments that are proportional to the other two sides of the triangle.
Given: ∆ABC where BD is an angle bisector.

To get this proof moving I’m going to give you a little help – Create the
D

auxiliary line AE parallel to BD while also extending side CB until they
meet at point E.

3. After figuring out the proof for the Angle Bisector Theorem a Kylie asks; “Could we have done the
auxiliary line parallel line to AB through D instead?” The teacher responds with “Great question Kylie, I’m
not sure but it looks like it should work because we make a ‘similar’ looking diagram”. See if Kylie is correct.
