Three line segments share a single vertex point labeled upper O. One of the line segments divides the angle formed by the other two into two equal angles. These angles are represented with arcs intersected by dashes.

Since ray OC is the angle bisector of ∠AOB, it divides ∠AOB into two equal angles. Given that the measure of ∠AOB is 74 degrees, we can find the measure of ∠AOC by dividing the measure of ∠AOB by 2.
\[ m∠AOC = \frac{m∠AOB}{2} = \frac{74}{2} = 37 \text{ degrees} \]
Thus, the measurement of ∠AOC is 37 degrees.
