In the following diagram HI || JK.What is the measure of Angles are not necessarily drawn to scale.
1 answer:
ANSWER
xº = 52º
EXPLANATION
Since segments HI and JK are parallel, we can see segment AK as a transversal:
So angle JKA and angle HIA are <em>corresponding angles</em> and they are congruent.
Then we have triangle HAI, and we have two of the angle's measures. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180º:
Solving for x:

Let's use the line on the right side. In the smaller triangle, the length is 4. The same side on the bigger triangle is 12. The ratio of the smaller triangle to the bigger triangle is:
To find a side length for the bigger triangle, all you need to do is multiply by 3. The same side on the smaller triangle is 5. Multiply by 3
That means x = 15
