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
The height of the kite is 3 feet. Here’s
why;
We know that BH=2A (base times height is equal to 2 times the area) of any given triangle.
Lets plug in values;
BH=2A
4(H)=2(6)
Then simplify;
4(H)=12
Flip the equation to find the missing value;
12 divided by 4 is 3.
Check your work;
4(3)=6(2):
12=12
The height of the kite is 3 feet.

(a) The measure of the indicated angle for figure 1 is 48⁰.
(b) The measure of the indicated angle for figure 2 is 42⁰.
<h3>Measure of the indicated angle</h3>
The measure of the indicated angles can be calculated as follows;
<h3>Figure 1</h3>
sinθ = opp/hypo
sinθ = 72/97
sinθ = 0.7423
θ = sin⁻¹(0.7423)
θ = 47.9⁰ ≈ 48⁰
<h3>Figure 2</h3>
sinθ = 65/97
sinθ = 0.6701
θ = sin⁻¹(0.6701)
θ = 42.1⁰ ≈ 42⁰
