DRAW A CIRCLE.INSCRIBE A TRIANGLE ABC IN IT.DRAW AD BISECTING ANGLE BAC AND MEETING THE CIRCLE AT D.SO IN THE 2 SEGMENTS OF THE CIRCLE..NAMELY ARC BD AND ARC DC WE HAVE,BOTH ARCS SUBTENDING EQUAL ANGLES AT A .SINCE ANGLE BAD=ANGLE DAC.
SO THE ARCS SHALL BE EQUAL IN LENGTH.SO ARC BD = ARC DC
SO D IS THE MID POINT OF ARC BDC
