Question

An angle is bisected, forming two new
angles. If the original angle had a measure
of 48 degrees, what is the measure of each
new angle?

Answer 1

First let's define bisected

To bisect an angle means to split an angle exactly in half. Both sides of a bisected angle are equal to each other

The original angle (48 degrees) is bisected so we must divide 48 by 2 to find a degree of each angle

48 ÷ 2 = 24

The measure of each new angle is 24 degrees
