Answer:

The measure of angle HBC is m∠HBC=61°

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have that

The line BH bisects angle EBC,

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

then

m∠EBC=m∠EBH+m∠HBC

m∠EBH=m∠HBC

so

m∠EBC=2(m∠EBH)

substitute the given values and solve for a

[tex]31a-2=2(4a+45)\\31a-2=8a+90\\31a-8a=92\\23a=92\\a=4[/tex]

Find the measure of angle EBH

m∠EBH=(4(4)+45)=61°

Remember that

m∠EBH=m∠HBC

therefore

The measure of angle HBC is m∠HBC=61°
