1. Perpendicular and Angle Bisectors
Sign In
Consider the Converse of the Angle Bisector Theorem.
20^(∘)
Explanation: See solution.
According to the Converse of the Angle Bisector Theorem, if a point is in the interior of an angle and is equidistant from its two sides, then it lies on the bisector of the angle. This means that BD forms a bisector of ∠ ABC.
Since an angle bisector divides an angle into two congruent adjacent angles, ∠ DBC≅ ∠ ABD. Therefore, m∠ ABD=20^(∘).
