Angle CBD has a measure of 140 degrees. What is the measure of angle ABD?

Angle CBD Has A Measure Of 140 Degrees What Is The Measure Of Angle ABD class=

Answer :

Recall that the sum of angles on a straight line is 180 degrees.

Therefore, for the line AC, it can be deduced that:

[tex]m\angle ABD+m\angle CBD=180\degree[/tex]

The question provides the following angle measure:

[tex]m\angle CBD=140\degree[/tex]

Substituting the angle measure into the formula, the unknown angle can be solved as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} m\angle ABD+140\degree=180\degree \\ m\angle ABD=180\degree-140\degree \\ m\angle ABD=40\degree \end{gathered}[/tex]

ANSWER

[tex]\begin{equation*} m\angle ABD=40\degree \end{equation*}[/tex]
