Math Problem Statement

Solve for m∠ABD in the given geometric diagram.

Solution

To solve for mABDm \angle ABD, let's analyze the diagram.

From the image, we observe:

  • ABC=67\angle ABC = 67^\circ (shown inside the triangle at BB).
  • The angle on the exterior, DBC=126\angle DBC = 126^\circ, is supplementary to ABC\angle ABC because they form a straight line.

Using the fact that supplementary angles add up to 180180^\circ, we have:

mABD+mABC=180m \angle ABD + m \angle ABC = 180^\circ

Substituting mABC=67m \angle ABC = 67^\circ:

mABD+67=180m \angle ABD + 67^\circ = 180^\circ

Now, solve for mABDm \angle ABD:

mABD=18067=113m \angle ABD = 180^\circ - 67^\circ = 113^\circ

Thus, the value of mABDm \angle ABD is 113113^\circ.
