Answer: The answer is (B) ∠SYD.
Step-by-step explanation: As mentioned in the question, two parallel lines PQ and RS are drawn in the attached figure. The transversal CD cut the lines PQ and RS at the points X and Y respectively.
We are given four angles, out of which one should be chosen which is congruent to ∠CXP.
The angles lying on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two parallel lines are called alternate exterior angles.
For example, in the figure attached, ∠CXP, ∠SYD and ∠CXQ, ∠RYD are pairs of alternate exterior angles.
Now, the theorem of alternate exterior angles states that if the two lines are parallel having a transversal, then alternate exterior angles are congruent to each other.
Thus, we have
∠CXP ≅ ∠SYD.
So, option (B) is correct.
Let's call the width and the length
based on this, we can make two equations based on the first and second sentences in the problem.
If we substitute for
into the second equation, we can make the following:
Now, let's find :
The length of the rectangle is and the width of the rectangle is
.
