Use the drawing provided to explain the following theorem.“The three angle bisectors of the angles of a triangle are concurrent.”Given: ,
, and
are the angle bisectors of the angles of
Prove:
,
, and
are concurrent at point Z
What will be an ideal response?
With and
, it follows that
. With respect to
, also note
that . Because Z lies on angle bisector
, we also have
. By the Transitive Property of Congruence,
. With point Z being equidistant from the sides of
, Z must also lie on angle bisector
. Thus,
,
, and
are concurrent at point Z.
