BD bisects ∠ABC. What is the value of x?

Solution

We are given that BDBD bisects ABC\angle ABC, and we need to find the value of xx.

Steps to solve:

  1. The diagram shows that BDBD bisects ABC\angle ABC. Therefore, ABD=DBC\angle ABD = \angle DBC.
  2. The full measure of ABC\angle ABC is given as 5353^\circ.
  3. Since BDBD bisects ABC\angle ABC, each of the angles ABD\angle ABD and DBC\angle DBC will be half of 5353^\circ: x=532=26.5x = \frac{53^\circ}{2} = 26.5^\circ

So, the value of xx is 26.526.5^\circ.
