Answer:
Let ABC be an angle and let BD be its bisector. Take a point P on BD. Draw PQ and PR perpendicular to the arms AB and BC of the angle.
In ∆s BPQ and BPR
Angle PBQ = Angle PBR (since BP bisects angle B)
BP = BP (common side)
Angle BQP = Angle BRP (each = 90°)
Hence ∆BPQ is congruent to ∆BPR.
Therefore, PQ = PR (c.p.c.t.)
Hence the bisector of an angle is equidistant from the arms of the angle.
