An angle bisector of a 90-degree angle is a line or ray that divides the 90-degree angle into two equal angles of 45 degrees each. It is a line that passes through the vertex of the angle and divides it into two congruent angles. In a right triangle, the angle bisector of the right angle will also bisect the opposite side, creating two smaller right triangles.
