In the figure below, triangles BCN and NMB are right triangles, with right angles C and M, and segment MN is an angle-bisector. If m CNB = 60 degrees, which is m CBM? Answer 30 degrees 45 degrees 60 degrees 75 degrees .

Angle BCN =90 Angle NMB=90 Angle CNB =60 Also given that MN is an angle-bisector (bisecting the angle CNB into two equal parts MNC =MNB =30) refer to the attached figure In a triangle sum of three angle should be 180. angle BCN +angle CNB + angle CBN =180 This gives us angle CBN =180-90-60=30 Now, In the right triangle NMB, angle NMB + angle MNB + angle NBM =180 angle NBM=180-90-30 (as angle MNB =30 from bisection ) =60 From the figure Angle NBM= angle CBM+angle CBN angle CBM=Angle NBM-angle CBN = 60-30 =30 So, angle CBM=30 degrees
