Math Problem Statement

What is m∠EBC? What is m∠ABE?

Solution

In the image you provided, there is an intersection of two lines, and one of the angles formed is labeled with 5454^\circ at point AA. The task asks to find the measures of two angles:

  1. EBC\angle EBC
  2. ABE\angle ABE

Solution:

1. EBC\angle EBC:

Since the given angle DAB=54\angle DAB = 54^\circ and EBC\angle EBC is a vertically opposite angle, the two angles are congruent (i.e., equal). Thus: mEBC=54m\angle EBC = 54^\circ

2. ABE\angle ABE:

Now, ABE\angle ABE is a straight angle formed by AB\overrightarrow{AB} and BE\overrightarrow{BE}, which sum up to 180180^\circ. Since one part of this angle is DAB=54\angle DAB = 54^\circ, the measure of ABE\angle ABE can be found by subtracting 5454^\circ from 180180^\circ: mABE=18054=126m\angle ABE = 180^\circ - 54^\circ = 126^\circ

Final Answers:

  1. mEBC=54m\angle EBC = 54^\circ
  2. mABE=126m\angle ABE = 126^\circ
