translate: explain specific steps involved in angle and segment bisector constructions.

Question

I would like to know the correct mathematical terms in Spanish for the above translation.

explicar los pasos especificos involucrados en construcciones del angulo y segmento de bisectriz - JoeRay41, Aug 22, 2010

Answer 1

You cannot always translate literally:

Explique detalladamente los pasos necesarios para construir una bisectriz y una mediatriz.

Bisectriz = angle bisector (Recta que divide un ángulo en dos partes iguales)

Mediatriz = perpendicular segment bisector (Recta perpendicular que corta un segmento en su punto medio)

While the verb bisecar (to bisect) exists, it is not used as much as in English.

Answer 2

See answer above.

¿Segmento de bisector? That doesn't seem to make any sense. - lazarus1907, Aug 22, 2010

I have no idea of the math lingo... Maybe I should follow my own advice and not guess answers :) - LuisaGomezBartle, Aug 22, 2010

Answer 3

Are we to assume that you mean a graphical method of bisecting a drawn angle or segment?

The steps in English

yes - JoeRay41, Aug 22, 2010

That was cool. Very explanatory. I still need the Spanish translation for the above: explicar los pasos especificos involucrados en construcciones del angulo y segmento de disectriz - JoeRay41, Aug 22, 2010

I mean, is this an accurate translation of the English? - JoeRay41, Aug 22, 2010

Sorry, I thought you wanted the steps in Spanish, not just a translation of the sentence. - 0074b507, Aug 22, 2010

Answer 4

Hello, this is to quote my friend Mac Fadden this will perhaps help you in the future:

"Hello, and welcome to the forum. We're glad you found us. This is a learning site and not a free translation service, though, so while we are happy to help you, we ask that you give the translation a try yourself. Then we'll provide any corrections and suggestions for improvement if necessary. If you need help, use the dictionary at the top of the page or the free translators on the main page. When you finish, just post your attempt here or edit your question to include it. Thanks."

Try it and we will help with the rest.

Did you get the translation I have: explicar los pasos especificos involucrados en construcciones del angulo y segmento de disectriz - JoeRay41, Aug 22, 2010
