Bisecting an angle creates

two equal angles. Here are the steps to bisect an angle:

1. Draw the given angle on a piece of paper using a protractor.

2. Place the point of the compass at the vertex of the angle (the point where the two lines of the angle meet).

3. Draw an arc that intersects both lines of the angle.

4. Without changing the compass width, take the point off the vertex of the angle and place it where the arc intersects one of the angle's lines.

5. Draw a second arc within the first one.

6. Repeat step 4 and 5 for the other line of the angle. The second arc should intersect the first one.

7. Draw a line from the vertex of the angle to the point where the arcs intersect. This line bisects the angle, creating two equal angles.
