Draw the triangle ABC, Plot D on AC and draw a line from angle ABC to point D, Thus, ABD=DBC
In the right angle triangle ABC, we know that AB=12, BC=15 therefore, AC=9
We have all sides so we can use either sine or cosine or tangent to find angle ABC
let's use cosine
Let, angle ABC=y
cos(y)=12/15
y=cos^-1(12/15) = 36.869897645844
Since BD bisects ABC
Therefore BDC=BDA as we said earlier and we know that DBC+DBA=ABC thus, BDC= 1/2ABC
so BDC=(1/2)36.869897645844 = 18.434948822922
We know 2 angles in a triangle so the third angle
180-(36.869897645844+90)=53.130102354156 (Angle BCA)
In triangle BDC, we know 2 angles which are Angle DBC=18.434948822922 and angle BCA=53.1301023541456
Therefore angle BDC=180-(53.1301023541456+18.434948822922) = 108.4349488229324
cos(108.4349488229324) = -0.316227766017
Note finding angle BDC is easier if we just added angle BAD+DBA since BDC is exterior angle of triangle ABD.
