Harry found an easy solution by simply constructing a parallelogram around the angle such that one of the diagonals was the desired line. My solution is below, based off my solution to Minimal area. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Draw the line through V and M. 2. Construct any line parallel to VM, call that line L. Line L line will intersect one of the rays. Call that intersection A. 3. Extend the other ray into a line, going both directions. The extension will intersect line L, call that point B. 4. Find the midpoint of AB and then draw the line containing the midpoint and V. 5. Construct a line passing through M which is parallel to the line drawn in the last step. This final line is the desired line.
