Let A, B, C be points on a line with A ∗ B ∗ C. Let D be a point not on that line such
that angle ABD is obtuse. Show that angle CBD is acute. Do NOT use the Measurement Theorem. (Hint: By Proposition 3.21, angle CBD is either acute, right, or obtuse. Consider the cases when it’s right and obtuse separately, obtaining a contradiction with the hypothesis that angle ABD is obtuse in each case.)

proposition 3.21
a. Exactly one of the following conditions holds (trichotomy): ∠P < ∠Q, ∠P ∼= ∠Q, or ∠P > ∠Q.
b. If ∠P < ∠Q and ∠Q ∼= ∠R, then ∠P < ∠R.
c. If ∠P > ∠Q and ∠Q ∼= ∠R, then ∠P > ∠R.
d. If ∠P < ∠Q and ∠Q < ∠R, then ∠P < ∠R.
can someone help me put this in context
Hint: $∠ABC=180^o=∠ABD+∠CBD$
Since $∠ABD$ is obtuse, $∠ABD>90^o$
Case I: $∠CBD>90^o$
$∠ABC=∠ABD+∠CBD>90^o+90^o=180^o$
which is a contradictiona as $∠ABC$ is a straight line angle.
Case II: $∠CBD=90^o$
$∠ABC=∠ABD+∠CBD=∠ABD+90^o>90^o+90^o=180^o$
which is a contradictiona as $∠ABC$ is a straight line angle.
