The measure of angle B is 132 degrees. A quadrilateral must add up to 360 degrees. You are given x and 3x-12. Half of a square's angles is 180. 4x-12 = 180 which x = 48.

Finally, you plug x in for 3x-12 and you get 132 degrees for B.

This assumes that DC and AB are of the same length

Answer:
m\angle{B}=132^(\circ)

Explanation:

In the given picture, we have given cyclic Quadrilateral ABCD ​which is inscribed in this circle.

We know that in cyclic quadrilateral the sum of the opposite angles is equals to
180^(\circ)

According to the given picture we have ,


m\angle{D}+m\angle{B}=180^(\circ)\\\\\Rightarrow x+(3x-12)=180\\\\\Rightarrow x+3x-12=180\\\\\Rightarrow 4x=180+12\\\\\Rightarrow 4x=192\\\\\Rightarrow x=48

Therefore,
m\angle{B}=(3(48)-12)^(\circ)=132^(\circ)
