The similarities are;

  • Compass and a straight edge required for both construction
  • Both construction includes a line drawn from the intersection of arcs to bisect a segment or an angle
  • The bases for the construction of both bisector are the ends of segment and the angle to be bisected
  • The width of the compass when drawing intersecting arcs, is more than half the width of the segment or angle being bisected

The differences are;

  • Two points of intersection of arcs are used in the segment bisector while only one is requited in an angle bisector
  • The bisecting line crosses the segment in a segment bisector, while it stops at the vertex of the angle being bisected in an angle bisector

The sources of the above equations are as follows;

The steps to construct a segment bisector are;

  • Place the needle of the compass at one of the ends of the line segment to be bisected
  • Widen the compass so as to extend more than half of the length of the segment to be bisected
  • Draw two arcs, one above, and the other below the line
  • Place the compass needle at the other end and with the same compass width draw arcs that intersects with the arcs drawn in the above step
  • Draw a line segment by placing the ruler on the points of intersection of the arcs above and below the line

The steps to construct an angle bisector are;

  • With the compass needle at the vertex, open the pencil end such that arcs can be drawn on the rays (lines) forming the angle
  • Draw an arc on both lines forming the angle
  • Place the compass needle at one of the intersection points and draw an arc in between the lines forming the angle
  • Repeat the above step with the same compass width from the other intersection point with the rays forming the angle
  • Join the point of intersection of the two arcs to the vertex of the angle to bisect the angle

Therefore, we have;

The similarities are;

  • A compass and a straight edge can be used for both construction
  • A straight line is drawn from the point of intersection of arcs to bisect the segment or the angle
  • The arcs are drawn from the ends of the segment or angle to be bisected
  • The width of the compass is more than half the width of the line or angle when drawing the arcs

The differences are;

  • In a segment bisector, the intersection point is above and below the line, while in an angle bisector only one pair of arcs are drawn to intersect above the line
  • The bisecting line passes through the segment being bisected, while the line stops at the vertex in an angle bisector
