Question

Triangle abc and xyz are congruent ,/_A is one half the size of /_B,/_y is 90° ./_c and /_z each have a measure of 45°.What is the measure of /_ a?

Answer 1

Answer:

∠a = 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that △abc and △xyz are congruent.

Thus;

∠a = ∠x

∠b = ∠y

∠c = ∠z

We are given;

∠y = 90°

Thus, ∠b = 90°

Now,we are told that ∠a is one half the size of ∠b.

Thus; ∠a = ½ × ∠b

∠a = ½ × 90

∠a = 45°
