If an 80-degree angle is bisected, then what is the measure of the two smaller angles created?

Answer 1

When an angle is bisected, it is divided into two equal parts. In this case, the 80-degree angle is bisected.

To find the measure of each of the two smaller angles created, you can divide the measure of the original angle by 2:

\[ \frac{80 \text{ degrees}}{2} = 40 \text{ degrees} \]

Thus, the measure of each of the two smaller angles created is 40 degrees.
