![### Problem Statement
Find the indicated measure in parallelogram \( \square ABCD \). Provide a reason for each answer. Use the correct symbol in your answer.
\[ m \angle ABC = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \; \text{because} \; \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \]
### Diagram Description
The diagram provided is of a parallelogram \( \square ABCD \). The diagram includes the following details:
- \( \angle DAB \) is labeled as 120 degrees.
- \( \angle ADC \) is labeled as 43 degrees.
- Side \( AB \) is 16 units in length.
- Diagonal \( AC \) is labeled with segments \( AE \) and \( EC \) measuring 8 units each.
- Diagonal \( BD \) is labeled with segments \( BE \) and \( ED \) measuring 7 units each.
- Intersection point \( E \).
### Answer:
Since the sum of the angles in any parallelogram is \( 360^\circ \) and opposite angles are equal, the measure of \( \angle ABC \):
\[ m \angle ABC = 43^\circ \; \text{because} \; (\text{opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal}). \]](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3507dd34-356a-4022-bbb7-0af3373e7007%2F39893797-043b-404b-8afe-676e1f6eb920%2Fyrpbiw8p_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
