If this is an isosceles triangle (assuming it is here), then you can find the bisector by finding the midpoint of AC

And then drawing a line from B to that midpoint

Answer 13

If you can't assume that, then you'll have to use a compass.

1. Place the compass at point A, stretch out an appropriate length, then draw an arc.
2. Without changing the length of the compass place the compass on point B, then draw another arc. The arcs should intersect like so:
