Question

after bisecting an angle, laura has two new angles, each with a measure of 5°. what was the measure of the original angle?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle bisector definition

An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal - measure angles.

Step2: Calculate the original angle

If each of the two new angles after bisecting has a measure of \(5^{\circ}\), then the original angle is the sum of these two angles. So the original angle \(= 5^{\circ}+ 5^{\circ}=10^{\circ}\)

Answer:

\(10^{\circ}\)
