Answer:

A. ZY=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Insufficient information is given about angles to make any statement about the value of p or the measures of any angles. (Eliminates B,C,D,E)

Side YZ corresponds to side FG. Since they are congruent, their measures are the same. This means ...

2n -5 = n +5

n = 10 . . . . . . . . add 5-n

YZ = ZY = 2·10 -5 = 15 . . . . . . matches choice A
