Math Problem Statement

m∠ABD = 65°, how large is ∠DBC?

Solution

The problem you've provided involves angles in a geometric figure. Here's how to approach it:

  1. Identify Given Information:

    • ABD=65\angle ABD = 65^\circ
    • The diagram shows a right angle at BB, meaning ABC=90\angle ABC = 90^\circ.
  2. Determine DBC\angle DBC:

    • Since ABC\angle ABC is a right angle and ABD\angle ABD is given as 6565^\circ, we can find DBC\angle DBC by using the fact that the sum of angles in a straight line is 180180^\circ.
    • Therefore, DBC=ABCABD=9065=25\angle DBC = \angle ABC - \angle ABD = 90^\circ - 65^\circ = 25^\circ.

So, DBC\angle DBC is 25 degrees.

Would you like more details on how the angles were calculated, or do you have any other questions?

Here are some related questions to consider:

  1. How would you find the value of ABC\angle ABC if DBC\angle DBC was known?
  2. Can you determine the value of ABD\angle ABD if DBC\angle DBC was 3030^\circ?
  3. How can you verify that ABC\angle ABC is indeed 9090^\circ from the diagram?
  4. What would be the effect on DBC\angle DBC if ABD\angle ABD were increased?
  5. How can this problem help you understand the relationship between adjacent angles in geometry?

Tip: Always remember that the sum of angles around a point on a straight line is 180180^\circ, and this can be very useful in solving angle-related problems!
