2 angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°.

For example  if m(P) = 41°  and m(Q)=49°, then P and Q are complementary.


Thus A and B are complementary means that m(A)=m(B)=90°:

(3x+5°) + (2x-15°) =90°

5x-10°=90°

5x=100°

x=20°



Thus 

m(A)=3x+5°=3* 20°+5°=60°+5°=65°

m(B)=2x-15°=2*20°-15°=40°-15°=25°

Which congruence theorems can be used to prove △EFG ≅ △JHG? Check all that apply.
sasho [114]

Answer:

ASA  and AAS

Step-by-step explanation:

We do not know if these are right triangles; therefore we cannot use HL to prove congruence.

We do not have 2 or 3 sides marked congruent; therefore we cannot use SSS or SAS to prove congruence.

We are given that EF is parallel to HJ.  This makes EJ a transversal.  This also means that ∠HJG and ∠GEF are alternate interior angles and are therefore congruent.  We also know that ∠EGF and ∠HGJ are vertical angles and are congruent.  This gives us two angles and a non-included side, which is the AAS congruence theorem.

Since EF and HJ are parallel and EJ is a transversal, ∠JHG and ∠EFG are alternate interior angles and are congruent.  Again we have that ∠EGF and ∠HGJ are vertical angles and are congruent; this gives us two angles and an included side, which is the ASA congruence theorem.

Answer:

x=35

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+15+2x-10+x=180

combine factors

5x+5=180

-5 from both sides

5x=175

divide 175/5x

x=35
