Because it is a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary and add to 180 degrees. Therefore, angle OAM is 180-83 = 97.

Now you look at the triangle OAM, where you have two of the three angles, the third being the angle AOM which you are looking for. Remember that the three angles of a triangle add to 180.

180 – (58 + 97) = 25. Angle AOM = 25 degrees.

Okay, the answer is 25 degrees I believe for the angle AOM. I got this because you can find the angle OAM by take 180 and subtracting it from 180 ( I got 180 because the angle of a straight line is 180) and i took the 83 from angle ABC, by subtracting 83 from 180 you get 97 for angle OAM. Then you can add that to angle AMO which u are told is 58, there u get 155. You know all the angles of a triangle equal 180 so u take 180 – 155 and u get 25. There is you answer and i hope that wasnt to confusing. Good luck!
