Question

using the image provided, find ( mangle cba ).

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the angle relationship

In triangle \(DBC\), the exterior angle at \(B\) (which is \(2m^\circ\)) should be equal to the sum of the two non - adjacent interior angles. So we have the equation: \((3x - 16)+(-2x + 53)=2m\). Also, \(\angle CBA\) and \(2m^\circ\) are supplementary (they form a linear pair), and \(\angle CBA=(5x - 3)^\circ\), so \(2m+(5x - 3)=180\). But first, simplify the first equation:
\((3x-16)+(-2x + 53)=3x-16 - 2x + 53=x + 37\). So \(2m=x + 37\).

Step2: Substitute into the supplementary equation

Substitute \(2m=x + 37\) into \(2m+(5x - 3)=180\):
\((x + 37)+(5x - 3)=180\)
\(x+37 + 5x-3=180\)
\(6x+34 = 180\)

Step3: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract 34 from both sides: \(6x=180 - 34=146\)? Wait, no, that can't be right. Wait, maybe the angle at \(D\) and angle \(DCB\) are equal? Wait, maybe the triangle is isosceles? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, looking at the angles at \(D\) and \(C\): if \(3x-16=-2x + 53\) (maybe the triangle is isosceles with \(DB = BC\)), let's try that.
\(3x-16=-2x + 53\)
Add \(2x\) to both sides: \(5x-16 = 53\)
Add 16 to both sides: \(5x=53 + 16=69\)
\(x=\frac{69}{5}=13.8\)? No, that doesn't give integer values. Wait, maybe the exterior angle at \(B\) for triangle \(DBC\) is equal to \(\angle D+\angle DCB\), and \(\angle CBA\) is equal to \(\angle D+\angle DCB\) (if \(DC\parallel BA\)? No, the diagram doesn't show parallel lines. Wait, maybe the two angles at \(D\) and \(C\) are equal to form an isosceles triangle. Wait, let's re - examine the problem. The angle at \(D\) is \((3x - 16)^\circ\), angle at \(C\) is \((-2x + 53)^\circ\), and the exterior angle at \(B\) is \(2m^\circ\), and \(\angle CBA=(5x - 3)^\circ\). Also, \(2m+(5x - 3)=180\) (linear pair), and \(2m=(3x - 16)+(-2x + 53)=x + 37\). So substitute \(2m=x + 37\) into \(2m+(5x - 3)=180\):
\(x + 37+5x-3=180\)
\(6x + 34=180\)
\(6x=180 - 34 = 146\)
\(x=\frac{146}{6}=\frac{73}{3}\approx24.33\). That can't be right. Wait, maybe the angle \(\angle CBA\) is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles? Wait, no, \(\angle CBA\) is an exterior angle? Wait, no, \(\angle CBA\) and \(2m\) are supplementary. Wait, maybe I misread the diagram. Let's assume that \((3x - 16)=(-2x + 53)\) (isosceles triangle \(DBC\) with \(DB = BC\)):
\(3x-16=-2x + 53\)
\(3x + 2x=53 + 16\)
\(5x=69\)
\(x = 13.8\). No. Wait, maybe the answer is obtained by another method. Let's try to plug in the answer options. Let's assume that \(m\angle CBA = 47^\circ\), so \(5x-3 = 47\), then \(5x=50\), \(x = 10\). Now check the other angles: \(\angle D=3x - 16=3\times10-16 = 14^\circ\), \(\angle DCB=-2x + 53=-20 + 53 = 33^\circ\). Then \(14 + 33=47\), and \(2m\) should be \(47\)? No, \(2m\) and \(\angle CBA\) are supplementary? Wait, no, if \(x = 10\), \(2m=\angle D+\angle DCB=14 + 33 = 47\), and \(\angle CBA=5x-3 = 47\), then \(47+47 = 94 eq180\). Wait, that's wrong. Wait, if \(m\angle CBA = 33^\circ\), then \(5x-3 = 33\), \(5x=36\), \(x = 7.2\). \(\angle D=3\times7.2-16=21.6 - 16 = 5.6\), \(\angle DCB=-2\times7.2+53=-14.4 + 53 = 38.6\), \(5.6+38.6 = 44.2 eq33\). If \(m\angle CBA = 10^\circ\), \(5x-3 = 10\), \(5x = 13\), \(x = 2.6\), \(\angle D=3\times2.6-16=7.8 - 16=-8.2\) (invalid, angle can't be negative). If \(m\angle CBA = 47^\circ\), wait, earlier calculation was wrong. Wait, if \(\angle CBA=(5x - 3)\) and \(2m=(3x - 16)+(-2x + 53)=x + 37\), and \(2m+(5x - 3)=180\), so \(x + 37+5x-3 = 180\), \(6x+34 = 180\), \(6x = 146\), \(x=\frac{73}{3}\). Then \(5x-3=5\times\frac{73}{3}-3=\frac{365}{3}-3=\frac{365 - 9}{3}=\frac{356}{3}\approx118.67\), which is not in the options. Wait, maybe the diagram is such that \(\angle CBA\) is equal to the sum of \(\angle D\) and \(\angle DCB\). So \((5x - 3)=(3x - 16)+(-2x + 53)\)
\(5x-3=3x-16 - 2x + 53\)
\(5x-3=x + 37\)
\(5x-x=37 + 3\)
\(4x=40\)
\(x = 10\)
Then \(m\angle CBA=5x - 3=5\times10-3 = 47^\circ\)

Step1: Set up the angle - sum equation

Assume that \(\angle CBA\) is equal to the sum of the two non - adjacent interior angles of triangle \(DBC\) (by the exterior angle theorem, if we consider \(\angle CBA\) as an exterior angle of triangle \(DBC\) at \(B\)). So we set up the equation:
\(5x-3=(3x - 16)+(-2x + 53)\)

Step2: Simplify the right - hand side

Simplify \((3x - 16)+(-2x + 53)\):
\(3x-16-2x + 53=x + 37\)
So the equation becomes \(5x-3=x + 37\)

Step3: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(x\) from both sides: \(4x-3 = 37\)
Add 3 to both sides: \(4x=40\)
Divide both sides by 4: \(x = 10\)

Step4: Calculate \(m\angle CBA\)

Substitute \(x = 10\) into the expression for \(\angle CBA\):
\(m\angle CBA=5x-3=5\times10 - 3=47^\circ\)

Answer:

\(47^\circ\)
