In a triangle ABC, the angle B is a straight line, M is the intersection point of the bisectors of angles
In a triangle ABC, the angle B is a straight line, M is the intersection point of the bisectors of angles A and C. Determine the angle AMC.
The bisector of angle A divides angle A into two equal parts, let us denote half of angle A by the letter x, then angle A is equal to 2x.
The bisector of the angle C divides the angle C into two equal parts, we denote half of the angle C with the letter y, then the angle C is equal to 2y.
Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 °, it turns out:
2x + 2y + 90 ° = 180 °.
2x + 2y = 180 – 90;
2 (x + y) = 90;
x + y = 90/2;
x + y = 45 °.
In triangle AMC: angle A is equal to x, angle C is equal to y.
x + y + (angle AMC) = 180 °.
AMC = 180 – (x + y).
Since x + y = 45, it turns out that the angle AMC = 180 – 45 = 135 °.
Answer: The AMC angle is 135 °.
