Angle bisector test
Dependencies: HL (hypotenuse-leg) congruence, Perpendicular from a point to a line exists and is unique. At this layer we complete the converse of the forward theorem Angle bisector ⇔ equidistant from sides: a point inside that is equidistant from the two sides must lie on the angle bisector.
Statement
Let be a nonzero, non-straight angle, and a point inside distinct from . Drop perpendiculars from to and , with feet and (i.e. at and at ). If
then the ray is the Angle bisector ⇔ equidistant from sides of , i.e.
