Question

Solve for P, WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Answer 1

Answer:

• p = 37°

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABD ≅ ΔAEC because:

• AB = AE = 10

• AD = AC = 17
• ∠A is common and congruent to itself

We have two sides and the included angle congruent - SAS

Corresponding parts of congruent figures are congruent:

• ∠C ≅ ∠D = p°

Now, ∠CED is exterior angle and exterior angle is same as sum of non-adjacent interior angles:

• m∠CED = m∠A + m∠C
• 79° = 42° + p°
• p = 79° - 42°
• p = 37°
