Question

I need a Journal Answer/Written Answer for this one:
How do the Triangle-Angle Bisector Theorem and the Angle Bisector Theorem differ?

Answer 1

U asked this yesterday and I said that I thought they were the same thing.

Answer 2

Yeah I know. But I don't think they are.

Answer 3

Why do you think that?

Answer 4

Someone else mentioned something about the Triangle-Angle Bisector Theorem including an angle bisector.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Hmm. I'll think about it more.

Answer 7

Your probably right though. lol

Answer 8

I'll go with your answer. :)

Answer 9

I'm reasonably sure about it, let's say.

Answer 10

I'll go with your answer. :)

Answer 11

Ok

Answer 12

So you were pretty much correct. The difference is that the angle bisector theorem can be applied to any angle. However when that theorem is applied in a triangle it divides it into two different segments, and the corresponding sides in each of the two segments are then proportional to each other.

Answer 13

Ah, OK, one is a special case of the other.

Thanks for coming back.

Answer 14

Well I wanted to let you know the answer as well. lol
