Introduction
Background of the study In almost all places, designs and patterns have shapes and angles. They are seen in buildings, towers, bridges, houses, furniture and appliances, and even in fabrics and handicrafts. And one part of these shapes and angles is the angle bisector. Angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two congruent parts. It is also called the internal angle bisector. And the angle bisectors of a triangle intersect at a point called the incenter of triangle. This angle bisector is usually used or applied by the students in math particularly in the field of geometry. But unfortunately, there’s no device that can help the students bisect an angle easier. That’s one of the reasons why many students find mathematics hard especially in solving problems involving angles and its bisectors. The researcher aimed to conduct this study to help ease the burden of the students on solving math problems and constructing an angle bisector. The researcher is going to seek any possible improvised device to make the study successful.
Objectives of the Study The main objective of the study is to assemble a device that is potential for bisecting an angle. In specific, this study aims to: 1) Help the students to be more accurate in measuring the angles formed when an angle is bisected. 2) Help the students to make an angle bisector and the same time measure the angles formed when an angle is bisected. 3) Compare the capabilities of Angle Bisector Constructor and the existing tools(protractor).
Scope and Limitation The scope of this study is limited to angle bisectors and the measurement of the angles formed after an angle is bisected. Giving the other parts of the angle is beyond the scopes and limitations of the study. The research is conducted in Bayugan National Comprehensive High School. Third year level students are the respondents.
