Answer:

11 73/78 ≈ 11.9359 (not 14)

Step-by-step explanation:

The similarity statement tells us ...

QS/QR = FG/FH

QS = QR·FG/FH

13x -14 = 154(55/60) = 847/6

Adding 14 = 84/6, we have ...

13x = 931/6

x = 931/78 = 11 73/78 . . . . . . . divide by 13

Comment on the question

You get a nice integer answer for x if the similarity statement is written ...

∆FGH ~ ∆QRS . . . . . . . note the letters are in alphabetical order

Then you have ...

QS/QR = FH/FG

13x -14 = 154(60/55) = 168

13x = 182

x = 14

This nice answer to a nice similarity statement leads us to believe the question has an error in it.

We suspect you are expected to provide x=14 as the answer, even though that is NOT the answer to the question as written. You may want to discuss this with your teacher.

Hello! To find the answer to this, let’s do 6x + 4x = 180. Combine like terms and you get that 10x = 180. Divide each side by 10 in order to get 18. Angle 1 = 108 degrees and Angle 12 = 72 degrees. Odd number angles match each other and even number angles match each other. In this case, 5 has the same angle measurement as 1, which is 108. The answer is D: 108 degrees.
