Question

An illustration shows three rays passing through three points from a common origin point at upper B. Point upper C is to the horizontal left of upper B. A ray from upper B joins upper C with an arrow near upper C. Point upper D is on the top inclined slightly to the right of point upper B. A ray from upper B joins upper D with an arrow near upper D. Point upper A is to top right of point upper B. A ray from upper B joins upper A with an arrow near upper A. Angle upper C upper B upper A is labeled as 155 degrees. Angle upper D upper B upper A is labeled as 60 degrees.

The measure of ∠ABD is 60° and the measure of ∠ABC is 155° . What is the measure of ∠DBC ?

Answer 1

To find the measure of angle \( \angle DBC \), we can use the information provided about the other angles.

We know:

• \( \angle ABC = 155^\circ \)
• \( \angle ABD = 60^\circ \)

Since the angles \( \angle ABC \), \( \angle ABD \), and \( \angle DBC \) form a straight line, their measures must sum to \( 180^\circ \).

Therefore, we can calculate \( \angle DBC \) using the equation:

\[ \angle DBC = 180^\circ - (\angle ABC + \angle ABD) \]

Substituting the known values:

\[ \angle DBC = 180^\circ - (155^\circ + 60^\circ) \] \[ \angle DBC = 180^\circ - 215^\circ \]

Since the above calculation results in a negative angle, this isn't possible in angle measurement. Thus, let's instead recognize that the geometry of the angles indicates that the angles actually denote positions around point \( B \).

Given that:

1. \( \angle ABC \) is larger than \( \angle ABD \),
2. We want to understand \( \angle DBC \), which is part of the straight line defined by points \( A \) and \( C\).

Since the total angle around point \( B \) in the plane is \( 360^\circ\), we compute:

\[ \angle DBC = 360^\circ - (155^\circ + 60^\circ) = 360^\circ - 215^\circ = 145^\circ \]

However, as we simplified to possible measures, the statement requested include potential \( 180^\circ - 60^\circ \).

Upon summing angles \( \angle ABC + \angle ABD + \angle DBC \):

To clarify, since \( \angle ABC + \angle ABD = 215 \), it focuses on \( DBC \).

Thus upon assessing all relationships, if incorrect angles considered, standard measures of angles may mislead.

Herein scrutinize further steps or offer valid calibrations:

The correct conclusion lends \( \angle DBC = 95^\circ \) when re-imagined or visualized through actual ray values alignment overall with provided greater bounds of angle measures as drawn from top view of all coordinate plots.

Therefore, \( \boxed{95^\circ} \) is deduced through recalibration.
