Answer:

See answers below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both trinagles asre similar hence the ratio of the similar sides are equal.

From both triangles;

y + 7 = 3y - 7

y - 3y = -7-7

-2y = -14

y = 14/2

y = 7

FE = 3y - 17

FE = 3(7) - 17

FE = 21 - 17

FE = 4

AB = y'+7

AB = 7 + 7

AB = 14

Similarly

3x+20 = 5x - 80

3x -5x = -80-20

-2x = -100

x = 100/2

x = 50

<A = 3x + 20

<A = 3(50) + 20

<A = 150 + 20

<A = 170degrees

Hence x= 50 and y = 7

The figure below shows a straight line AB intersected by another straight line t:

BaLLatris [955]

When two straight lines intersect, the pairs of nonadjacent angles in opposite posi-tions are known as vertical angles.

If a segment AB is intersected by a transversal labeled t, then ∠1 and ∠3 and ∠2 and ∠4 are vertically angles formed by the transversal t on the segment AB.

Angles ∠1 and ∠2 can be described as adjacent and supplementary angles, so

$m\angle 1+m\angle 2=180^{\circ}$ .

Angles ∠3 and ∠2 can be also described as adjacent and supplementary angles, so

$m\angle 3+m\angle 2=180^{\circ}$ .

Subtract from the first equation the second equation:

$m\angle 1+m\angle 2-(m\angle 3+m\angle 2)=180^{\circ}-180^{\circ},\\ m\angle 1-m\angle 3=0,\\ m\angle 1=m\angle 3$ .

Similarly you can prove that $m\angle 2=m\angle 4$ .
