MZABC =

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given: $m ∠ A B D = 72 °$ .

To find: $m ∠ A B C$ and $m ∠ D B C$ .

Solution:

From the figure, we have $m ∠ A B C = (8 x - 9) °$ and $m ∠ D B C = (5 x + 3) °$ .

Now, we can find that $m ∠ A B D = m ∠ A B C + m ∠ D B C$

$\begin{array}{rcl} m ∠ A B D & = & m ∠ A B C + m ∠ D B C \\ 72 ° & = & (8 x - 9) ° + (5 x + 3) ° \\ 72 & = & 8 x - 9 + 5 x + 3 \\ 72 & = & 13 x - 6 \\ 13 x & = & 72 + 6 \\ 13 x & = & 78 \\ x & = & \frac{78}{13} \\ x & = & 6 \end{array}$
