It's helpful to choose letters to represent the measures of these complementary angles.  Let x represent one and y the other.

What does "complementary angle" mean?  x + y = ??

Let x be the smaller angle.  First, we take "half the measure of the larger angle," or (y/2).  Then we subtract 6 degrees from this result (y/2).  The result is the xmaller angle, x.

Now you have two equations in x and y.  Solve for one of these angles, and then find the other.  Please show your work.

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle not marked in the top triangle is 40 degrees since it is an isosceles triangle.  That makes the angle opposite it in the other triangle 40 degrees since they are vertical angles and vertical angles are equal.

The bottom triangle has 3 angles that sum to 180 degrees,  The other angle not marked is also y since it is an isosceles triangle.

40 + y +y = 180

Subtract 40 from each side and combine like terms

40-40 +2y = 180-40

2y = 140

Divide by 2

2y/2 = 140/2

y = 70

Answer:

BD does bisect the angle created by ABC, however it does not bisect segment AC. So it really depends on what you are determining the bisection to be.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can tell that it is bisecting the angle since it creates two congruent angles.

We can tell that it does not bisect the segment as AD and CD are not the same length.
