Answer:
C. x = 3, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
If both triangles are congruent by the HL Theorem, then their hypotenuse and a corresponding leg would be equal to each other.
Thus:
x + 3 = 3y (eqn. 1) => equal hypotenuse
Also,
x = y + 1 (eqn. 2) => equal legs
✔️Substitute x = y + 1 into eqn. 1 to find y.
x + 3 = 3y (eqn. 1)
(y + 1) + 3 = 3y
y + 1 + 3 = 3y
y + 4 = 3y
y + 4 - y = 3y - y
4 = 2y
Divide both sides by 2
4/2 = 2y/2
2 = y
y = 2
✔️ Substitute y = 2 into eqn. 2 to find x.
x = y + 1 (eqn. 2)
x = 2 + 1
x = 3

Answer:
40°
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles QRS and QTS are congruent (HL), so the marked angles are also congruent:
3x +2 = 4x -4
6 = x
Then the total angle measure of angle RST is ...
(3x +2) +(4x -4) = 7x -2 = 7(6) -2 = 40 . . . degrees
m∠RST = 40°
