In the circle shown below segment bd is a diameter and the measure of arc cb is 54 what is the measure of dbc?

To find the measure of angle DBC, we can use the properties of circles and angles. Since BD is a diameter, we know that it divides the circle into two semicircles and any angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle (90 degrees).

The angle DBC is formed by the radius BC and the diameter BD. We also know that the measure of arc CB is 54 degrees. The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc. Therefore:

Measure of angle DBC = 1/2 × Measure of arc CB

Substituting the known value:

Measure of angle DBC = 1/2 × 54 = 27 degrees

Thus, the measure of angle DBC is 27 degrees.
