MHB What is the Value of Angle MBC in the Triangle-Square Configuration?

[anemone]

Here is this week's POTW:

-----
Let $ABC$ be a right triangle with right angle at $B$. Let $ACDE$ be a square drawn exterior to triangle $ABC$. If $M$ is the center of this square, evaluate $\angle MBC$.-----

Let $P$ be the midpoint of $AC$. As $PM=AP$, $M$ lies on a circle with diameter $AC$.
On the other hand, as $\angle ABC=90\mbox{°}$, the point $B$ also lies on that circle.
As the arc $CM$ equals $90\mbox{°}$, the inscribed angle $\angle MBC$ equals $45\mbox{°}$.
