alleryEvery point on an angle bisector is equally far from which parts of the angle?
AThe compass arcs drawn
BThe vertex of the angle only
COne arm of the angle only
DBoth arms of the angle
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Both arms of the angle
1. Points on the bisector are equidistant from both sides of the angle.
2. This is why the bisector can serve as a centre line for such figures as an incircle.
3. Distance from the vertex alone changes along the bisector.
