An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles. Its endpoint is at the angle vertex. Within the ray, a segment with the same endpoint is also an angle bisector. The ray or segment bisects the angle. In the diagram, eh y vector  is the angle bisector of angle  so angle

Angle XAZ is divided into two equal angles by ray AY.
