Answer:

A. 85

Step-by-step explanation:

Since DE and XY are parallel, this means that the given angle and angle x are alternate Angles. According to the law of alternate Angles, this means that they are equal. It also makes sense as the angle x is the same angle as the angle directly opposite angle 85. This is because they are on the same line across parallel lines. This also means they are equal because vertically opposite angles are always equal.

Therefore x =85

Hope this helped!

. . What needs to be corrected in the following construction for copying ∠ABC with point D as the vertex?.

From my research, the image below belongs to the question. From what is seen in the image, there are 2 arcs already drawn with respect to the new vertex. The third arc corresponds to the point where the line DM is made. This line is similar to line BC. So at the point where the second and third arcs would meet, it would be a point similar to a point on line AB.
