Answer:
(see below)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, to make it easier for yourself, "flip" the triangles so that they "match." To see what I'm talking about, refer to IMAGE.A.
Now that you can tell that the congruent side and angles are corresponding, you have to prove them congruent.
There is one side and two angles, so it's AAS or SAA.
They will have the same coordinate,so we can just find out x and y
3x-y=9(1)
y=-2x+11(2)
Put (2) into(1)
3x-(-2x+11)=9
3x+2x-11=9
5x=20
x=4
Put x=4 into (1)
3(4)-y=9
12-y=9
y=3
Answer is A
Set up and solve an equation:
3(90-x) = (180-x). Then 270 - 3x = 180 - x, or 270 - 180 = 2x.
90 = 2x, so x = 45 deg.
Is this true? 3(90-45) = (180-45)? If so, x = 45 degrees is correct.
It’s 5 since you’d use Pythagorean theorem
