1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the measure of angle B, mBm\angle B, in a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD. We are given that mB=(4x+9)m\angle B = (4x+9)^\circ and mD=(3x+3)m\angle D = (3x+3)^\circ.

2. Solution Steps

Since ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral (all four vertices lie on a circle), the opposite angles are supplementary, which means their measures add up to 180180^\circ. Therefore,
mB+mD=180m\angle B + m\angle D = 180^\circ
Substituting the given expressions for mBm\angle B and mDm\angle D, we get
(4x+9)+(3x+3)=180(4x+9) + (3x+3) = 180
Combining like terms, we have
7x+12=1807x + 12 = 180
Subtracting 12 from both sides, we get
7x=180127x = 180 - 12
7x=1687x = 168
Dividing both sides by 7, we find
x=1687=24x = \frac{168}{7} = 24
Now we can find mBm\angle B by substituting x=24x=24 into the expression for mBm\angle B:
mB=4x+9=4(24)+9=96+9=105m\angle B = 4x + 9 = 4(24) + 9 = 96 + 9 = 105

3. Final Answer

mB=105m\angle B = 105^\circ
