Answer:

106 degrees

Explanation:

Sides AB and CD are equal in length and sides AD and BC are parallel to each other. This tells us that angles B and C are equivalent. Knowing this, we can set up the following equation to solve for x:


4x+42=74+2x

Subtract both sides by 42


4x+42-42=74+2x-42\\4x=32+2x

Subtract both sides by 2x


4x-2x=32+2x-2x\\2x=32

Divide both sides by 2


(2x)/(2) =(32)/(2) \\x=16

Now, to find angle ABC, or angle B, we can plug x back into its expression:


4x+42\\= 4(16)+42\\=64+42\\= 106

Therefore, the measure of angle ABC is 106 degrees.

I hope this helps!
