Respuesta :

Answer:

B: 65°

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

AB ║ ED      Given

Step 2:

∠E = 65°      Given

Step 3:

∠ABC = 65°    Alt. Int. ∠'s   ( Alternate Interior ∠'s)

Answer:

B: 65°

[tex]\tt Step-by-step~explanation:[/tex]

To find the measure of ∠ABC, we need to know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180º.

[tex]\tt Step~1:[/tex]

Triangle CED has two given angles: 65º and 50º. We can add them together and subtract that from 180 to get the third measure.

[tex]\tt 65+50=115\\180-115=65[/tex]

[tex]\tt Step~2:[/tex]

Since lines AB and ED are parallel, that means m∠ACB is also 65º since the vertical angle is also 65º. Then, we can add 65 and 50 together and subtract that from 180 to get our answer.

[tex]\tt 65+50=115\\180-115=65[/tex]

[tex]\large\boxed{\tt Our~final~answer:~m\angle ABC=65~degrees }[/tex]
