The calculated measure of the angle ABC is 86 degrees

How to determine the measure of the angle ABC

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The figures

The corresponding angles are congruent

So, we have

5x - 27 = 3x + 1

Collect and evaluate the like terms

2x = 28

So, we have

x = 14

This means that

ABC = 6x + 2

ABC = 6 * 14 + 2

ABC = 86

Hence, the measure of the angle ABC is 86 degrees
