Which of the following proportionally statements is correct?
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure given has two similar triangles: ΔABC and ΔDEF. Although the triangles are similar, their orientation is different and ΔDEF is flipped. Since the triangles are similar, their side lengths are proportional to each other. Given the orientation of the triangles, we can still see that the diagonal (hypotenuse) for the larger triangle is AC and the smaller is DF. The only answer that matches these up proportionally is the third one. Looking at the second side, BC, we can see that this matches up to the longer leg of EF on the smaller triangle. Final answer being:

We have been given that measure of arc WY is 76° and and measure of arc XZ is 112°. We are asked to find the difference of of the measures of angle WPY and angle XPY.
First of all we will find the measure of angle WPY using intersecting secants theorem. Intersecting secants theorem states that measure of angle formed by two intersecting secants inside a circle is half the sum of intercepting arcs.
We can see that angle WPY and angle XPY are linear angles, so they will add up-to 180 degrees.
Now we need to find difference of both angles as:
Therefore, the difference of the measures of angle WPY and angle XPY is 8 degrees.
