Answer:

Yes, △ABC ∼ △FED by AA postulate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two triangles ABC and FED.

m∠A = m∠B

m∠C = m∠A + 30°

m∠E = m∠F = x

m∠D = 2x-20°.

Now, let m∠A = m∠B = y

So, m∠C = m∠A + 30° = y+30

Now, sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180°. Therefore,

m∠A + m∠B +  m∠C = 180

y+y+y+30=180\\3y=180-30\\3y=150\\y=\frac{150}{3}=50

Therefore, m∠A = 50°, m∠B = 50° and m∠C =  m∠A + 30° = 50 + 30 = 80°.

Now, consider triangle FED,

m∠D+ m∠E + m∠F = 180

2x-20+x+x=180\\4x=180+20\\4x=200\\x=\frac{200}{4}=50

Therefore,  m∠F = 50°  

m∠E = 50° and  

m∠D =  2x-20=2(50)-20=100-20=80\°

So, both the triangles have congruent corresponding angle measures.

m∠A = m∠F = 50°

m∠B = m∠E = 50°

m∠C = m∠D = 80°

Therefore, the two triangles are similar by AA postulate.

25 degrees is the answer. CBE is supplementary to ABC. That means those two angles add up to 180 degrees.

Please solve the following quadratic equation and show your work: x^2 -x =30
saveliy_v [14]
Rewriting the equation as a quadratic equation equal to zero:
     x^2 - x - 30 = 0
We need two numbers whose sum is -1 and whose product is -30. In this case, it would have to be 5 and -6. Therefore we can also write our equation in the factored form
     (x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
Now we have a product of two expressions that is equal to zero, which means any x value that makes either (x + 5) or (x - 6) zero will make their product zero.
     x + 5 = 0  => x = -5
     x - 6 = 0  => x = 6
Therefore, our solutions are x = -5 and x = 6.
