Question

^DEF and ^RSQ are shown in the diagram below

Answer 1

Answer:

53.3 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

∆DEF and ∆RSQ are similar. We know this, because the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal. That is:

DE corresponds to RS

EF corresponds to SQ

DF corresponds to RQ.

Also <D corresponds to <R, <E corresponds to <S, and <F corresponds to <Q.

The ratio of their corresponding sides = DE/RS = 6/3 = 2

EG/SQ = 8/4 = 2

DF/RQ = 4/2 = 2.

Since the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal, it means ∆DEF and ∆RSQ are similar.

Therefore, their corresponding angles would be equal.

Thus, m<Q = m<F

Let's find angle F

m<F = 180 - (98 + 28.7)

m<F = 53.3°

Since <F corresponds to <Q, therefore,

m<Q = 53.3°
