8) m∠DBC =  58°

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of parallelogram EBCD are;

EB = 16, ED = 25, BF = 11, EC = 34, m∠BED = 55°, m∠CDB = 67°

1. BC = ED = 25 Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal

2. m∠BCD = m∠BED = 55 opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal

m∠BCD + mEDC = 180° adjacent sides of a parallelogram are supplementary

m∠EDC = 180° - m∠BCD

∴ m∠EDC = 180° - 55° = 125°

m∠EDC = 125°

3) BD = BF × 2 Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other

∴ BD = 11 × 2 = 22

BD = 22

4) m∠EBD = m∠CDB = 67° from alternate angles between parallel lines

5) FC = EC/2 from diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other

∴ FC = EC/2 = 34/2 = 17

FC = 17

6) m∠BEC = m∠BCE = 24° Alternate angles between parallel lines

m∠BEC = 24°

7) CD = EB = 16 Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal

8) m∠EBC = m∠EDC = 125° from opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal

m∠DBC + m∠EBD = m∠EBC from angle addition postulate

∴ m∠DBC = m∠EBC - m∠EBD

m∠DBC = 125° - 67° = 58°

m∠DBC =  58°
