To solve for \( m(\angle DMB) \), we start by recalling that in a circle, the angle subtended by a chord at the center is twice the angle subtended at any point on the circumference. Here, \( \overline{BC} \) is the diameter, so \( m(\angle BAC) = \frac{1}{2} m(\angle BMC) \). Since \( m(\angle C) = 40^\circ \), we find that \( m(\angle BAC) = 40^\circ \) as well. Next, we know that \( m(\angle DMB) \) is equal to \( m(\angle BAC) \) because \( \overline{MD} \) is perpendicular to \( \overline{AB} \). This gives us \( m(\angle DMB) = m(\angle BAC) = 40^\circ \). Therefore, \( m(\angle DMB) = 40^\circ \).
