The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the measure of angle AMB in the given parallelogram ABCD, where M is the midpoint of diagonal BD and BM is the bisector of angle B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Draw the Parallelogram**: - Start by sketching parallelogram ABCD. Label the vertices A, B, C, and D in a clockwise manner. 2. **Identify the Midpoint**: - Mark point M as the midpoint of diagonal BD. This means that BM = MD. 3. **Angle Bisector**: - Since BM is the bisector of angle B, we know that angle ABM is equal to angle CBM. Let's denote these angles as angle 1 and angle 2 respectively. Thus, angle ABM = angle CBM. 4. **Identify Alternate Interior Angles**: - Since AB is parallel to CD (as it is a property of parallelograms), angle CBM (angle 2) is equal to angle DCM (angle 3) because they are alternate interior angles. 5. **Relate Angles**: - Now we have: - angle ABM = angle 1 - angle CBM = angle 2 - angle DCM = angle 3 - From the previous steps, we can conclude that: - angle 1 = angle 3 (since angle 2 = angle 3). 6. **Properties of Parallelogram**: - In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal and the diagonals bisect each other. This means that triangles ABM and DCM are congruent (by the Side-Angle-Side postulate). 7. **Conclusion about Shape**: - Since triangles ABM and DCM are congruent, angle AMB must be equal to 90 degrees because the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other at right angles if the parallelogram is a rhombus. 8. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the measure of angle AMB is **90 degrees**.
