Question

if an angle is bisected to form two new 35.1° angles, what was the measure of the original angle?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle bisector definition

An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal parts. So the original angle is the sum of the two new angles.

Step2: Calculate original angle

Each new angle is \( 35.1^\circ \), so original angle \( = 35.1^\circ + 35.1^\circ \)
\( = 70.2^\circ \)

Answer:

\( 70.2 \)
