Answer
To find angle ∠DBC, we recognize that it is a right angle, thus ∠DBC=90∘.

Answer
To find angle ∠ABC, we use the sum of angles in a triangle:
∠ABC=180−∠DBC
Substituting ∠DBC=90, we have:
∠ABC=180−90=90∘
Step 3
For angle $\angle ABC = 90 - \angle ACB$

Answer
Alternatively, we can find angle ∠ABC using another property of triangles:
∠ABC=90−∠ACB
If we know ∠ACB, we substitute its value to find ∠ABC.

Answer
We mark point i at the circumference and draw triangle △ADB. The triangle's angles should also confirm ∠ABC+∠ACB+∠ADB=180∘.
