The value of angle Z is 30 degrees

<h3>How to determine the value of angle Z?</h3>

The given parameters are:

ABC is dilated to form XYZ

This means that the triangles ABC and XYZ are similar triangles and the corresponding angles are equal

So, we have the following angle equations

A = X

B = Y

C = Z

Also, we have

A + B + C = 180

Substitute C = Z in A + B + C = 180

A + B + Z = 180

Substitute A = 45 and B = 105

So, we have:

45 + 105 + Z = 180

Evaluate the like terms

150 + Z = 180

Subtract 150 from both sides

Z = 30

Hence, the value of angle Z is 30 degrees

Which linear inequality is represented by the graph?

yuradex [85]

Answer:

y = 3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded region is somewhat going up, and the graph is positive. That leaves 2 answer choices. If you measure the slope by counting the blocks from one point to another by counting up/down from one point to the height to another point, and then go right or left to the other point. the slope is 3, therefore y = 3x +2 is the answer, as it is the only one that the shaded region is above the line and that has a slope of 3. Hope this helps!
