An angle is formed by two rays with a common endpoint. The angle bisector is a ray or line segment that bisects the angle, creating two congruent angles. To construct an angle bisector you need a compass and straightedge. Bisectors are very important in identifying corresponding parts of similar triangles and in solving proofs.

Can the angle bisector of a triangle also be the perpendicular bisector?
Yes. The bisector of one angle of a triangle is the perpendicular bisector of theopposite side if the bisected angle is the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle,or any angle of an equilateral triangle.
Is the angle bisector also the median in an equilateral triangle?
No. The angle bisector is a line. Where the three lines meet is the median. In an equilateral triangle the INTERSECTION of the angle bisectors is the median.
Is this True or false the angle bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is also the perpendicular bisector of the base?
True
Angle bisector of a triangle?
The angle bisectors of a triangle are the lines which cut the inner angles of a triangle into equal halves. The angle bisectors are concurrent and intersect at the center of the incircle.
Which types of triangles must always have at least one angle bisector that is also a perpendicular bisector?
iscoceles triangle! =)
