I) if the triangles are similar then the corresponding angles are congruent. this means that the angles are of the same size.
ii) If ΔABC is similar to ΔDEF, therefore; m∠A = m∠D, m∠B=m∠E, and m∠C=m∠F,
thus, if m∠A= 52, m∠D=52, and if m∠E=65, then m∠B=65, thus to get m∠C;
180- (52+65)
= 63 , therefore; m∠C= 63
iii) if two figures are similar they have the same shape and not necessarily the same size while if two figures are congruent then they have the same shape and size
Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Line l and m are two parallel lines cut across by the transversal line, therefore, the angle measuring 53° and (8x - 9)° are interior angles on the same side. Interior angles on the same side are supplementary.
Therefore:
53° + (8x - 9)° = 180°
Solve for x
53 + 8x - 9 = 180
Collect like terms
53 - 9 + 8x = 180
44 + 8x = 180
Subtract 44 from both sides
44 + 8x - 44 = 180 - 44
8x = 136
Divide both sides by 8
8x/8 = 136/8
x = 17
