degrees
check answer
remaining attempts : 3

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - bisection concept

An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal parts.

Step2: Calculate the measure of each part

Let the original angle be $\theta = 80^{\circ}$. When bisected, each smaller angle $\alpha=\frac{\theta}{2}$. So, $\alpha=\frac{80^{\circ}}{2}=40^{\circ}$.

Answer:

40
