Math Problem Statement
Given DE || AB, determine the measure of ∠ABE.
Solution
In the given diagram, you are asked to determine the measure of angle under the condition that .
Step-by-step explanation:
-
Parallel Line Concept: Since , and (which is 94°) forms a transversal with these parallel lines, we can use the properties of parallel lines and angles.
-
Interior Angles: and are corresponding interior angles. Therefore, the measure of will be:
Thus, .
