Bisectors and Congruence

Question 9 • Q5 Geometry New 2022

When a ray bisects an angle, it does all of the following except what?

Answer
A
divides the angle into two congruent angles
B
contains the vertex of the angle
C
lies in the interior of the angle
D
shares a side with the angle

Explanation

An angle bisector is a ray whose endpoint is the angle’s vertex and that lies inside the angle, dividing it into two congruent angles. It does not share one of the angle’s sides; it lies between the sides. So the statement that it “shares a side with the angle” is the exception.
