\(\overrightarrow{Q S}\) is the angle bisector of ∠YQX. Points X and Y are equidistant from point Q.
Math in Focus Grade 7 Chapter 6 Lesson 7.1 Answer Key Constructing Angle Bisectors 1
Points S1, S2, S3, and S4 lie on \(\overrightarrow{Q S}\), the angle bisector of ∠YQX.

Step 1.
Measure and record each length to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.
Math in Focus Grade 7 Chapter 6 Lesson 7.1 Answer Key Constructing Angle Bisectors 2
Answer:
S1X = 5 cm            S1Y = 5 cm
S2X = 4 cm           S2Y = 4 cm
S3x  = 3 cm           S3Y = 3 cm
S4x = 2 cm           S4Y = 2 cm

Step 2.
Compare the lengths of \(\overline{S_{1} X}\) and \(\overline{S_{1} Y}\). Then compare the lengths of the two segments in each of the following pairs: \(\overline{S_{2} X}\) and \(\overline{S_{2} Y}\), \(\overline{S_{3} X}\) and \(\overline{S_{3} Y}\), and \(\overline{S_{4} X}\) and \(\overline{S_{4} Y}\). What do you observe about each pair of segment lengths?

Math Journal
Suppose you choose any point on the angle bisector. Do you think you will observe the same relationship between the lengths of the segments that connect the point to points X and V? What conclusion can you make?.

From the activity, any two points on the sides of an angle that are the same distance from the vertex are also the same distance from any point on the angle bisector.

Question 2.
Two walls intersect to form a right angle. In gym class, the students use the two walls to play a game in which the players line up so that each player is equidistant from the two walls.
a) Copy the diagram and draw a line to show where students should line up.
Answer:
We are given the angle:
Math in Focus Grade 7 Chapter 7 Lesson 7.1 Answer Key Constructing Angle Bisectors A 1

The players are equidistant from the two walls if they are placed on the angles bisector. We buiLd the bisector.
First, with the compass point at the vertex, draw an arc that intersects \(\overrightarrow{Q P}\) and \(\overrightarrow{Q R}\).
Label the intersection points as A and B.

b) What is the measure of the angle formed by the students and Wall 1 ? How do you know?
Math in Focus Grade 7 Chapter 6 Lesson 7.1 Answer Key Constructing Angle Bisectors 5
Answer:
Because the measure of the angle PQR is 90° and the bisector divides it in two congruent parts, the measure of the angle formed by the students and each of the walls is:
\(\frac{90^{\circ}}{2}\) = 45°

Trace or copy the diagram. Then complete.

Math in Focus Grade 7 Chapter 7 Lesson 7.1 Answer Key Constructing Angle Bisectors A 11

In order to divide the angle in 4 congruent parts, first we construct the bisector \(\overrightarrow{Y V}\) of
the angle XYZ:
Math in Focus Grade 7 Chapter 7 Lesson 7.1 Answer Key Constructing Angle Bisectors A 12
We have:
m∠XYV = m∠VYZ = \(\frac{m \angle X Y Z}{2}\)
Then we construct the bisector \(\overrightarrow{Y W}\) of the angle XYV:
Math in Focus Grade 7 Chapter 7 Lesson 7.1 Answer Key Constructing Angle Bisectors A 13
We have:
m∠XYW = m∠WYV = \(\frac{m \angle X Y V}{2}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{X Y X}{2}}{2}\) = \(\frac{m \angle X Y Z}{4}\)
Divide the angle twice, constructing angle bisectors.

Length of \(\overline{E G}\) = Length of Math in Focus Grade 7 Chapter 6 Lesson 7.1 Answer Key Constructing Angle Bisectors 12
Math in Focus Grade 7 Chapter 6 Lesson 7.1 Answer Key Constructing Angle Bisectors 13
Answer:
\(\overline{B D}\) is angle bisector:
m∠DBC = m∠ABD
Substitute:
m∠DBC = 26°
△BEF ≅ △BEG (side-angle-side)
BF = BG
m∠DBC = m∠ABD
BE = BE

Length of \(\overline{E G}\)  = Length of \(\overline{E F}\)

Question 12.
Joshua used a square piece of paper to make a paper airplane. As a first step, he made several folds in the paper, as shown in the diagram. First he folded along diagonal \(\overline{\mathrm{QS}}\), then he unfolded the paper. Next he folded along \(\overline{\mathrm{QT}}\) so that \(\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}\) lined up with \(\overline{\mathrm{QS}}\). Then he unfolded the paper again. In the diagram, what is the measure of ∠PQT? Give a brief explanation for your answer.
Math in Focus Grade 7 Chapter 6 Lesson 7.1 Answer Key Constructing Angle Bisectors 15
Answer:
In order to Line up \(\overline{P Q}\) with \(\overline{Q S}\) folding along \(\overline{Q T}\), the points of \(\overline{Q T}\) should be equidistant to \(\overline{P Q}\) and \(\overline{Q S}\), therefore on the bisector of ∠PQS.
we aetermine m∠PQT:
m∠PQT = \(\frac{m \angle P Q S}{2}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{90^{\circ}}{2}}{2}\) = \(\frac{45^{\circ}}{2}\)
= 22.5°

Question 13.
Kimberly wants to bisect the straight angle shown, and then bisect one of the resulting angles. She then wants to continue this process until she obtains an angle of measure 11.25°. How many times does she need to construct an angle bisector to produce an angle with this measure? Explain.
Math in Focus Grade 7 Chapter 6 Lesson 7.1 Answer Key Constructing Angle Bisectors 17
Answer:
Given the Angle measure of 11.25°.
Here we need to find out the angle which after bisecting gives an angle of 11.25°.
We know that when an angle is bisected it is divided into two equal angles.
Therefore, the double of the angle obtained after bisecting we will get the angle that was bisected
Hence, the angle is
= 2 × 11.25°
= 22.5°
