Theorem 6.7- If a ray bisects an angle of a triangle, then it divides the opposite side into segments whose lengths are proportional to the lengths of the other two sides.
AD=4
CA=8
BD=4
CB=8
CA=8
BD=4
CB=8
<BAC is 70 degrees
let's say the point where the bisector meets segment BC is point D
BD is 3. DC is 4 AB is 6 what is the length of AC?
3/6=4/x 1/2=4/x x=8
