It is a similar triangle so the side length of the smaller triangle (x and x-2) are in the same ratio as the bigger triangle (2x+5 and 2x-1). As the ratio is the same, you can equate them and solve for x.
No -- other factors will influence whether your happy or not. Saying that is true is inductive reasoning, which is prone to error
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) m∠1 +m∠2 + m∠3 = m∠LAM (Angle addition postulate)
2) m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180 (def. of straight angle)
3) y║z (Given)
4) ∠1 ≅ ∠5 (alternate interior angles theorem)
5) ∠3 ≅ ∠6 (alternate interior angles theorem)
6) Since m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180
m∠5 + m∠2 + m∠6 = 180
Hence proved.
