PRINCIPIA · THEOREM

Angle bisector exists and is unique

Dependencies: Protractor axiom.

Statement

Let AOB\angle AOB satisfy 0<θ<1800^\circ < \theta < 180^\circ, where θ=AOB\theta = \angle AOB. Then inside AOB\angle AOB there exists a unique ray OCOC emanating from OO such that

AOC=COB=θ2.\angle AOC = \angle COB = \tfrac{\theta}{2}.

This ray OCOC is called the bisector of AOB\angle AOB.

Angle-bisector uniqueness: inside \angle AOB there is a unique ray OC that cuts \angle AOB into two equal halves \theta/2
