An angle is bisected, forming two new

of 48 degrees, what is the measure of each
new angle?

First let's define bisected

To bisect an angle means to split an angle exactly in half. Both sides of a bisected angle are equal to each other

The original angle (48 degrees) is bisected so we must divide 48 by 2 to find a degree of each angle

48 ÷ 2 = 24

The measure of each new angle is 24 degrees

An angle is bisected, forming two new angles. If the original angle had a measure-example-1
