(ii) ∵ ∆AMC ≅ ∆BMD
| From (i) above
∠ACM = ∠BDM | C.P.C.T.
But these are alternate interior angles and they are equal
∴ AC || BD
Now, AC || BD and a transversal BC intersects them
∴ ∠DBC + ∠ACB = 180°
| ∵ The sum of the consecutive interior angles on the same side of a transversal is
180°
⇒ ∠DBC + 90° = 180°
| ∵ ∠ACB = 90° (given)
⇒ ∠DBC = 180° - 90° = 90°
⇒ ∠DBC is a right angle.

∠DBC = ∠ACB (each = 90°)
