To find the measure of angle DBC, we can use the fact that adjacent angles ABD and DBC add up to the larger angle ABC.

We know:

  • m∠ABC = 160°
  • m∠ABD = 92°

We can set up the equation:

m∠ABC = m∠ABD + m∠DBC

Substituting the values we know:

160° = 92° + m∠DBC

Now, solve for m∠DBC:

m∠DBC = 160° - 92° = 68°

Therefore, the measure of angle DBC is 68°.
