Description
|
|
•
|
The bisector bA of the angle at A of the triangle ABC is a line segment (or its extension) from vertex A that bisects an angle at A.
|
•
|
If the optional argument P is given, the object returned is a line segment AP where P is the intersection of the bisector at A and the opposite sides.
|
•
|
For a detailed description of the bisector bA, use the routine detail (i.e., detail(bA))
|
•
|
Note that the routine only works if the vertices of the triangle are known.
|
•
|
The command with(geometry,bisector) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
