alleryWhat does an angle bisector do to an angle?
ADivides it into three equal angles
BDivides it into two equal angles
CDoubles the angle measure
DTurns it into a right angle
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Divides it into two equal angles
1. To bisect means to divide into two equal parts.
2. An angle bisector therefore gives two angles of equal measure.
3. Dividing into three parts is trisection, which is a different problem.
