Answer: Two column proof.

Explanation :

A two-column proof is one common way to organize a proof in geometry.Two-column proof always has two columns where one for statements and one for reasons.

Here,


\angle ABC is a right angle and
\angle DBC is a straight angle(
180^(\circ)) . (given)

Therefore,
\angle ABD must be right angle. ( because,
\angle ABD=\angle DBC-\angle ABC= 180^(\circ)-90^(\circ)=90^(\circ))

Which is the required proof.

Since, In the above proof both statements and reasons both mentioned, therefore, it is the two column proof.

Note: We can also make a table which consist of two columns, in first we can mention 'statements' while in second column we can mention 'reasons'.
