Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure given has two similar triangles: ΔABC and ΔDEF. Although the triangles are similar, their orientation is different and ΔDEF is flipped. Since the triangles are similar, their side lengths are proportional to each other. Given the orientation of the triangles, we can still see that the diagonal (hypotenuse) for the larger triangle is AC and the smaller is DF. The only answer that matches these up proportionally is the third one. Looking at the second side, BC, we can see that this matches up to the longer leg of EF on the smaller triangle. Final answer being:
Y = 90 degrees
1) The angles on a straight line add to 180 degrees so 180-110= 70 degrees.
2) The angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees so 70+70= 140 degrees. The angle at the top of the triangle will have to be 40 degrees as 140+40= 180 degrees.
3) As x is half the angle at the top of the triangle (40 degrees), x will equal 20 degrees.
4) As the angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees 20+70=90 degrees 180-90=90 degrees.
5) Answer = 90 degrees
1) The angles on a straight line add to 180 degrees so 180-110= 70 degrees.
2) The angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees so 70+70= 140 degrees. The angle at the top of the triangle will have to be 40 degrees as 140+40= 180 degrees.
3) As x is half the angle at the top of the triangle (40 degrees), x will equal 20 degrees.
4) As the angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees 20+70=90 degrees 180-90=90 degrees.
5) Answer = 90 degrees
