Question

Kenia rotated Triangle ABC 90° counterclockwise to create Triangle A’B’C’. If Kenia performed this transformation correctly, what is the measure of angle B'? What is the measure of angle A and C. Number value only. URGENT

Answer 1

Answer:

B' = 105°

C = 27°

A = 48°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

B = 105°

C = (2x - 3)°

C' = (5x - 48)°

Rotation = 90°

Before solving the requirements of this question, it should be noted that rotation do not change the angle of shapes.

i.e. an angle retain its measurements pre and after rotation.

Solving (a): The measurement of B'

Using the analysis above.

B' = B

Recall that

B = 105°

So:

B' = 105°

Solving (b): A and C

First, I'll solve for C.

Using the same analysis above.

C = C'

Substitute values for C and C'

5x - 48 = 2x - 3

Collect like terms

5x - 2x = 48 - 3

3x = 45

Multiply both sides by ⅓

⅓*3x = ⅓*45

x = 15

Substitute 15 for x in

C = (2x - 3)°

C = 2 * 15 - 3

C = 30 - 3

C = 27°

Solving for A

The sum of angles (A, B and C) is represented as:

A + B + C = 180

Substitute values for B and C

A + 105° + 27° = 180°

A + 132° = 180°

Collect like terms

A = 180° - 132°

A = 48°
