Question

if an angle is bisected to form two new 8° angles, what was the measure of the original angle?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - bisection concept

The original angle is twice the measure of each new angle after bisection.

Step2: Calculate the original angle

Let the measure of each new angle be $a = 8^{\circ}$. The original angle $A=2\times a$. So $A = 2\times8^{\circ}=16^{\circ}$.

Answer:

$16$
