Angle DBC=3*Angle ABE

Angle DBC+Angle ABE+Angle EBD=180

Angle EBD=90


\begin{gathered} \measuredangle DBC+\measuredangle ABE+90=180 \\ 3\cdot\measuredangle ABE+\measuredangle ABE+90=180 \\ 4\cdot\measuredangle ABE+90=180 \\ 4\cdot\measuredangle ABE=180-90 \\ 4\cdot\measuredangle ABE=90 \\ \measuredangle ABE=(90)/(4)=22.5 \end{gathered}

Angle DBC will be


\begin{gathered} \measuredangle DBC=3\cdot\measuredangle ABE \\ \measuredangle DBC=3\cdot(22.5) \\ \measuredangle DBC=67.5 \end{gathered}
