Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Since we are dealing with parallels, we have 2 pairs of parallel lines.

As a result, we can argue that angle ADB and angle DBC are alternate angles between parallel lines, therefore both are equal to each other at 44 degrees:

ADB=DBC=44 ADB=DBC=44

Now we can calculate angle ABC:

ABC=ABD+DBC ABC=ABD+DBC

Let's substitute the known values:

ABC=40+44=84 ABC=40+44=84

Answer

84
