Question

if an angle is bisected to form two new 62° angles, what was the measure of the original angle?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - bisection concept

The original angle is the sum of the two equal angles formed by bisection.

Step2: Calculate the original angle

Let the original angle be $\theta$. Since the two new angles are each $62^{\circ}$, then $\theta=62^{\circ}+ 62^{\circ}$.
$\theta = 124^{\circ}$

Answer:

$124^{\circ}$
