Worked Solution

Step 1: Recall the property. In a parallelogram, consecutive angles (angles that share a side) are supplementary — they add to 180°. Step 2: ∠DAB and ∠ABC share the side AB, so they are consecutive angles. ∠DAB + ∠ABC = 180°. Step 3: Substitute and solve. 65° + ∠ABC = 180°, so ∠ABC = 180° − 65° = 115°. Check (reverse): 115° + 65° = 180° ✓. Final answer: ∠ABC = 115°. Answer: 115°

Correct answer: 115°
