Answer

∠ABD=45∘\angle ABD = 45^\circ

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the relationship between the angles.

    From the diagram, ∠ABC\angle ABC is a right angle, indicated by the square symbol, so ∠ABC=90∘\angle ABC = 90^\circ. Angle ∠ABC\angle ABC is composed of two adjacent angles, ∠ABD\angle ABD and ∠DBC\angle DBC.

  2. Set up the equation.

    The sum of the adjacent angles equals the larger angle:

    ∠ABC=∠ABD+∠DBC\angle ABC = \angle ABD + \angle DBC

    Substitute the given values: ∠ABC=90∘\angle ABC = 90^\circ, ∠ABD=x\angle ABD = x, and ∠DBC=45∘\angle DBC = 45^\circ.

    90∘=x+45∘90^\circ = x + 45^\circ
  3. Solve for xx.

    Subtract 45∘45^\circ from both sides of the equation:

    x=90∘−45∘x = 90^\circ - 45^\circ x=45∘x = 45^\circ

    Therefore, ∠ABD=45∘\angle ABD = 45^\circ.

    The angle marked is ∠ABD\angle ABD.
