Question

select the statement that is the contrapositive of the following statement: if a ray cuts an angle into two smaller, congruent angles, then it is an angle bisector. answer if a ray isnt an angle bisector, then it doesnt cut an angle into two smaller, congruent angles. if a ray cuts an angle into two smaller, congruent angles, then it isnt an angle bisector. if a ray is an angle bisector, then it cuts an angle into two smaller, congruent angles. if a ray doesnt cut an angle into two smaller, congruent angles, then it isnt an angle bisector.

Explanation:

The contrapositive of a conditional statement "If P, then Q" is "If not Q, then not P". For the given statement "If a ray cuts an angle into two smaller, congruent angles (P), then it is an angle bisector (Q)", we negate Q (ray isn't an angle bisector) and negate P (doesn't cut an angle into two smaller, congruent angles) to form the contrapositive.

Answer:

A. If a ray isn't an angle bisector, then it doesn't cut an angle into two smaller, congruent angles.
