In the Converse of the Angle Bisector Theorem, why is it important to say that the point must be in the interior of the angle? HELP ME??

Question

Imagine this picture: |dw:1386284978443:dw|
Here, you can't ever create a 90 degree angle, It MUST be in the interior, otherwise there is no way to create a perpendicular line.

Alright, let's work through it. Tell me what the converse of the angle bisector theorem states.

anonymous · Answer

That Lol

anonymous · Answer

It says that for a point P, if it is in the interior of the angle, and equidistant from both lines, it is a bisector. XD or just post it.

What Do I Right For The Answer. Lol Im Lost! Like OMG! Haha & Yeahhh I Did That:p

anonymous · Answer

Alright, we always need at least one 90 degree angle to tell distance.

anonymous · Answer

I Got That. I Think Lol.

Alright, now two more things, First off,  you can't get a perpendicular line from the exterior of the angle. It's just not possible. Second off, a bisector of an angle is characterized by cutting the interior of the angle in half, meaning it can't be on the exterior.

Does that make sense?

You see what I'm saying?

Let me clarify on that picture I drew earlier, it was wrong|dw:1386286398287:dw| See? It never intersects with the rays of the angle.

Um I Guess...
