Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The angle ABC \angle ABC is bisected by BDundefined \overrightarrow{BD} .
2. The measure of ABC \angle ABC is given by 5x8 5x - 8 .
3. The measure of DBC \angle DBC is 57 57^\circ .

STEP 2

1. Understand the relationship between the angles.
2. Set up an equation for x x .
3. Solve for x x .
4. Calculate mABC m\angle ABC .

STEP 3

Since BDundefined \overrightarrow{BD} bisects ABC \angle ABC , it means that ABD=DBC \angle ABD = \angle DBC .

STEP 4

Given that DBC=57 \angle DBC = 57^\circ , and since ABD=DBC \angle ABD = \angle DBC , we have:
ABD=57 \angle ABD = 57^\circ

STEP 5

Since ABC \angle ABC is bisected, it means:
ABC=ABD+DBC \angle ABC = \angle ABD + \angle DBC ABC=57+57 \angle ABC = 57^\circ + 57^\circ ABC=114 \angle ABC = 114^\circ

STEP 6

We know mABC=5x8 m\angle ABC = 5x - 8 . Set up the equation:
5x8=114 5x - 8 = 114

STEP 7

Solve for x x :
5x8=114 5x - 8 = 114 5x=114+8 5x = 114 + 8 5x=122 5x = 122 x=1225 x = \frac{122}{5} x=24.4 x = 24.4

STEP 8

Now, find mABC m\angle ABC using x=24.4 x = 24.4 :
mABC=5x8 m\angle ABC = 5x - 8 mABC=5(24.4)8 m\angle ABC = 5(24.4) - 8 mABC=1228 m\angle ABC = 122 - 8 mABC=114 m\angle ABC = 114^\circ
The value of x x is 24.4 24.4 and the measure of ABC \angle ABC is 114 114^\circ .
