To prove that line segment PA is the angle bisector of angle BPC in an equilateral triangle ABC inscribed in a circle, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Draw the Figure**: Start by drawing an equilateral triangle ABC inscribed in a circle with center O. Mark point P on the minor arc BC, ensuring that P does not coincide with points B or C. 2. **Identify Angles**: We need to prove that PA bisects angle BPC. Let angle BPC be divided into two angles: angle 1 (∠APB) and angle 2 (∠APC). ...
