Question

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

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

Answer 1

Option B. is correct

Explanation:

A ray is a line which has only one end point.

An angle is a figure obtained by two sides of triangle having a common vertex.

An angle bisector is a line which bisects angle into two equal parts or we can say into two congruent angles.

Also, an angle bisector lies in the interior of the angle.

As per angle bisector theorem, an angle bisector will divide the opposite side into two segments that are proportional to the remaining two sides .

So, we can say an angle bisector shares a side with the angle also.

So, we can say a ray that bisects an angle does not contain the vertex of the angle.

Option B. is correct

Answer 2

The bisector of an angle is a ray whose end point is the vertex of the angle where it divides the angle into two smaller congruent angles. Therefore, it is in the interior of an angle and it shares a side.

B.

contains the vertex of the angle
