Answer:

< DBC is
45^(0)

Explanation:

The line segment AB perpendicular to CB implies that a right angle is formed at point B. So that, AB and CB meets at B at
90^(0) to each other. Since the ray BD bisects <ABC, i.e it divides <ABC into two equal parts.

Thus,


(90^(0) )/(2) =
45^(0)

Therefore, < DBC =
45^(0)

and < DBC = < ABD =
45^(0)

These two angles are said to be complementary angles. Complementary angles are set of two or more angles that add up to
90^(0).

Answer:

The measure of angle DBC is 45°.

Explanation:

You can observe a representation of the problem in the image attached.

Notice that angle ABD and DBC are congruent.

Also, those angles are complementary, which means


\angle ABD + \angle DBC = 90\°

And we know that
\angle ABD = \angle DBC = x

So,


x+x=90\°\\2x=90\°\\x=(90\°)/(2)\\ x=45\°

Which means that
\angle DBC = 45\°

Therefore, the measure of angle DBC is 45°.
