Answer 1

37°

She likely thought that angle b and 53° added up to 180 instead of 90

Explanation:

b and 53° make a right angle

b + 53° = 90°

90° - 53° = 37°

She likely thought that angle b and 53° added up to 180 when it actually adds up to 90

Answer 2

your answer will be m<b=37

Explanation:
