Math Problem Statement
If m∠ABD = 76°, and m∠DBC = 68°, then m∠ABC = [?]°
Solution
In the given diagram, we are tasked with finding the measure of . Here's the breakdown:
We are given:
Now, is the sum of and , because points , , , and are arranged in such a way that consists of the two adjacent angles and .
Thus:
So, the measure of .
