Introduction to Half-Planes
Description
A detailed tutorial on half-planes. Step by step tutorial including several examples of half-planes for reference.
Overview
A half-plane is simply half a plane, that includes all the lines on half of the plane and sometimes the points. If the plane includes the points, it is a closed half-plane. If it doesn’t, then it is an open half-plane. The most common half planes are upper, lower, right, and left planes, where that side of the plane is all that is included. However, there are many other kinds of half planes that are all a variety of diagonal half-planes.

Overview of Half-Circles
Description
A detailed tutorial on equations of a half-circle. Step by step tutorial including several examples and an explanation of half-circles for reference.
Overview
A half-circle is truely half of a circle. If you take a circle and cut it in half, you will get a half circle. Because of this, the equations of the half-circle are very similar to the equations of a full circle – simply divide the equation by two. The only ones that you cannot find that way are the radius, diameter, and circumference. The radius and diameter do not change on a half-circle. There is no circumference on the half-circle, but if you need the circumference for another formula you can use the circumference of the whole circle of that half-circle.

How to Find the Interquartile Range
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to find the interquartile range. Step by step tutorial including several examples of the interquartile range for reference.
Overview
The interquartile range is the range of the data between the lower or first quartile and the upper or third quartile. The interquartile range is not the whole data set – it is actually only half of the data set, although not a common half – the first and last quarter of the data is not included in the interquartile range. To find the interquartile range, all you must do is find all the quartiles, and then find the different between the upper quartile and lower quartile.

How to Find an Angle Bisector
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to find an angle bisector. Step by step tutorial including several examples on how to find angle bisectors for reference.
Overview
The bisector of an angle is the straight line or line segment that runs right down the center of the angle, splitting in into two rays and creating two angles, that are each half of the measure of the original angle. The bisector is always on the interior of an angle, and because of this it is sometimes called the internal angle bisector. Bisectors can be used with many things, but it is most common to find them used with angles, which is why other bisectors are simply called bisectors, while these are given the name of angle bisectors.
