Answer:
The correct option is;
∠A ≅ ∠X
Step-by-step explanation:
The given coordinates of the points of triangle ACB are;
A(-4, 4), C(-1, 3), B(-4, 0)
The given coordinates of the points of triangle XYZ are;
X(0, 8), Y(8, 8), Z(6, 2), therefore, we have
The length. l. of segment is given by the following formula;
For the length of the segment AC; (x₁, y₁) = (-4, 4), (x₂, y₂) = (-1, 3), l = √(10)
For the length of the segment AB; (x₁, y₁) = (-4, 4), (x₂, y₂) = (-4, 0), l = 4
For the length of the segment BC; (x₁, y₁) = (-4, 0), (x₂, y₂) = (-1, 3), l = 3·√2
For the length of the segment XY; (x₁, y₁) = (0, 8), (x₂, y₂) = (8, 8), l = 8
For the length of the segment XZ; (x₁, y₁) = (0, 8), (x₂, y₂) = (6, 2), l = 6·√2
For the length of the segment ZY; (x₁, y₁) = (6, 2), (x₂, y₂) = (8, 8), l = 2·√(10
Therefore;
XY ~ AB, XZ ~ BC, ZY ~ AC
Which gives;
∠A ≅ ∠X, ∠B ≅ ∠Y, ∠C ≅ ∠Z
