How do I do this? Construct two perpendicular lines. Then construct the angle bisectors of each of the angles formed by the intersecting lines. What conjecture can you make based on your construction?

I'd guess that it would form a 45 45 90 triangle.

how

Okay I'll make a graphic

here are two perpendicular lines |dw:1377469401656:dw| these lines meet at 90 degree angles

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

here is one angle bisector, this angle bisector cuts the 90 degree angle into two equal halves (45 degrees each) |dw:1377469468039:dw|

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

well here's my graphic I was told to construct 2 perpendicular lines - no mention of teir meeting at 90°
