To find the measure of angle DBC, we can use the fact that adjacent angles within a larger angle should sum up to the measure of the larger angle.

Given:

  • m∠ABC = 160°
  • m∠ABD = 92°

Since ∠ABD and ∠DBC are adjacent angles inside ∠ABC, you can set up the equation:

m∠ABC = m∠ABD + m∠DBC

Plugging in the values we have:

160° = 92° + m∠DBC

Now, solve for m∠DBC:

m∠DBC = 160° - 92° m∠DBC = 68°

So, the measure of angle DBC is 68°.
