Question

Ray BD bisects angle ABC. Ray BE bisects angle ABD, and Ray BF bisects angle EBD. If angle ABE = 20 degrees, find the measure of angle FBC. (in degrees)

Answer 1

An angle bisector is a straight line that divides a given angle into two equal measures. Thus the measure of angle FBC is $50^{o}$.

A line that divides a given measure of angle into two equal measures is referred to as an angle bisector. This makes the two angles produced by the bisector to be congruent.

Thus from the given question, we have;

<ABD + <DBC = < ABC (addition property of a bisected angle)

<ABE + <EBD = <ABD (addition property of a bisected angle)

<EBF + <FBD = <EBD (addition property of a bisected angle)

Given that angle ABE = $20^{o}$, thus;

<ABE = <EBD = $20^{o}$

Then,

<EBF + <FBD =    $20^{o}$

<EBF = <FBD = $10^{o}$

Such that;

<FBC = <FBD + <DBC

         = $10^{o}$ + 2<ABE

         =  $10^{o}$ + $40^{o}$

<FBC = $50^{o}$

Therefore, the measure of angle FBC is $50^{o}$.
