Angle ABC is a straight angle. MAngleDBC = 130° and Ray B E bisects AngleABD. The center of line A C is point B. Two lines extend from point B. One line extends to the left and contains point E. Another line extends up and to the left and contains point D. What is mEBA? °

Answer:

25°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∠DBC = 130°, ∠DBC + ∠ABD = 180° (sum of angles on a straight line is 180°). Solving for ∠ABD:

∠DBC + ∠ABD = 180°

130 + ∠ABD  = 180°

∠ABD = 180° - 130°

∠ABD = 50°

∠ABD  is bisected by line BE, therefore ∠ABD = ∠EBA + ∠DBE (angle addition postulate).

The angle addition postulate states that if w is the interior of xyz then ∠XYZ = ∠XYW + ∠ZYW

Since E is the interior of ∠ABD, then:

∠ABD = ∠EBA + ∠DBE

But ∠EBA = ∠DBE

∠ABD = 2∠EBA

50 = 2∠EBA

∠EBA = 25°

Answer:

The answer is 25 degrees
