its is not fully clear what you want to calculate:

  • Angle bisector
  • line bisector
  • area bisector

https://www.mathopenref.com/bisector.html

Assuming you want the first:

Only indirectly.

  1. Activate snapping.
  2. add a line (pen tool), and use snapping to match first line of triangle
  3. duplicate.
  4. use node tool to match one node to second line
  5. use transform tool to read out rotation angles of both,  and calculate difference.
  6. set decimal digits to a large number (e.g. 6) for higher accuracy.

there a numerous other possible ways. 

  1. duplicate triangle. Set opacity to 50%
  2. activate move tool.
  3. set point of origin to intersection of lines who build angle
  4. rotate duplicate until both lines of angle overlap
  5. use transform panel to read out rotation.

Or create vector shape like pie tool, position accordingly and adjust angle until it matches 

ps 

the most simple way is probably to

  1. use the rectangular shape,
  2. rotate the the head over the angle origin
  3. Roughly set angle
  4. adjust nodes until they math both lines
  5. use middle of base line (snapping) as starting point of dotted line

Too early here on the wet coast but.... Wouldn't line and area bisector be the same result? Two triangles with base of 4 units and height of 2 units will both be 4 square units in area. If I bisect base so I have base of 2 and (the same) height of 2 then the areas will be 2 square units. (B * H)/2 gives you the area of a triangle.

Only in special cases like yours, not in general.

use the example from OP, both will be totally different.

This is what I was thinking of. Obviously the angles abd and dbc are not equal, they are not bisected. The areas of abd and dbc are equal as are the line lengths ad and dc. Two examples given.

i not so clear on my question. hi From Chile here. I need a tool to angle bisector, in one corner of the triangle to construct a dot line.

thanks, but I need angle bisector, not area bisector. Thanks a lot.

We have gone off on a different angle here. 

Yes, you cannot bisect an angle using any of the Affinity applications.

Not without some fairly serious work, think back to geometry lessons in school using a compass and a  straight edge.

I was indeed watching, so I’d only have missed it if I were somewhat obtuse.

Hmmm, there is no built in [appreciative groan emoticon] emoji in the forum software.

Obtuse. You? Never! Me on the other hand...

Another creative solution:

  1. move angle origin in the center of quadratic canvas
  2. align one line to horizontal right
  3. add fill layer behind
  4. merge visible
  5. use equations
  6. set to polar
  7. set t=t*2
  8. apply
  9. set blend range to make white half transparent
  10. the result shows the bisector of the angle (in the middle of both lines building the angle)

Hello People!!, I´m just starting in Affinity Designer. I hope you can help me.

Is there a tool to calculate the bisector of an angle in a triangle?

Thanks!!

OK. I think this will explain better what i want to get, without to make every time the circles.

I'm looking for a tool to construct the dot line over the angle bisector of a triangle corner.

To paraphrase GarryP from his first post. I don't think there is an easy or automatic way of doing this in any of the Affinity applications.

Because this silly little program has some capabilities 😜 (in this case rotating something 90º) you only need to draw one circle.

Draw a circle with the center point at the angle you want to bisect.
Connect the two crossing points with your dashed line.
Rotate the line 90º around it's center point (with move tool by toggling the bounding box.... or with the node tool transform mode.... or with point transform tool)

It's not automagic (like it probably should be), but since you need to draw the dashed line anyway it's really just one more shape. Not terrible (if you don't have to do a lot.... 🥴).

Edit: Sorry, didn't leave anything punny. Just my attempt to unt-angle this thread. 😶
