More About Bisect
If we bisect a 900 angle, we will have two 450 angles.
The word 'bisect' combines the common Latin 'bi' for 'two', and 'secare', meaning 'to cut', which also is the root for secant
Straight edge and compass are used to bisect a line segment or an angle
Anything can be bisected: a line, an angle, a circle, a square

Example of Bisect
Following steps are involved when we bisect an angle by using ruler and compass:
Draw an arc with B as the centre to cut the arms, BA and BC, of the angle at P and Q respectively
Using the same radius, draw an arc centered at P
Again, using the same radius, draw an arc centered at Q to cut the arc previously drawn at R
Join, B, the vertex of the angle, to the point R
BR bisects the angle ABC, and is called the bisector of the angle ABC.
