Answer:

∠ ABC = 45°

Explanation:

The vertices of the triangle Δ ABC are given to be A(7,5), B(4,2) and C(8,2).

Now, we have to find the angle ∠ ABC.

Now, it is clear that the line BC is parallel to the x-axis and the angle ∠ ABC will be given by the slope of AB.

Now, slope of AB will be
(7 - 4)/(5 - 2) = 1

Therefore, if AB makes an angle x degree with the x-axis then,

tan x = 1

x = 45° .

Therefore, the angle ∠ ABC = 45° (Answer)
