Rectangle $ABCD$ has $AB = 6$ and $BC = 3$. Point $M$ is chosen on side $AB$ so that $\angle AMD = \angle CMD$. What is the degree measure of $\angle AMD$?
$\textbf{(A)}\ 15 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 30 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 45 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 60 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 75$
It is given that $\angle AMD \sim \angle CMD$. Since $\angle AMD$ and $\angle CDM$ are alternate interior angles and $\overline{AB} \parallel \overline{DC}$, $\angle AMD \cong \angle CDM \longrightarrow \angle CMD \cong \angle CDM$. Use the [Base Angle Theorem](https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Base_Angle_Theorem) to show $\overline{DC} \cong \overline{MC}$. We know that $ABCD$ is a [rectangle](https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Rectangle), so it follows that $\overline{MC} = 6$. We notice that $\triangle BMC$ is a $30-60-90$ triangle, and $\angle BMC = 30^{\circ}$. If we let $x$ be the measure of $\angle AMD,$ then
\begin{align*} 2x + 30 &= 180\\ 2x &= 150\\ x &= \boxed{\textbf{(E)} 75} \end{align*}

Easier Way to Continue
After finding $MC = 6,$ we can continue using trigonometry as follows. 
We know that $\angle{BMC} = 180-2x$ and so $\sin (180-2x) = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$
It is obvious that $\sin (30) = \frac{1}{2}$ and so $180-2x=30.$
Solving, we have $x = \boxed{75}$
