Question

Given: Quadrilaterals ABCD ~ EFGH , with measure of angle A = 47 degrees, measure of angle B = 39 degrees, and measure of angle C = 112 degrees. Find: Measure of angle F and measure of angle H.

Answer 1

The answer is below

Explanation:

Two polygons are said to be congruent if they have the same size and shape that is their corresponding angles and sides are equal.

Hence since Quadrilaterals ABCD is congruent to EFGH, then their corresponding angles and sides are equal.

In quadrilateral ABCD:

∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360° (sum of angles in a quadrilateral)

Substituting:

47 + 39 + 112 + ∠D = 360

∠D + 198 = 360

∠D = 360 - 198

∠D = 162°

The image of Quadrilaterals ABCD and EFGH is not given but let us assume that they have the same orientation, hence:

∠A = ∠E = 47°

∠B = ∠F = 39°

∠C = ∠G = 112°

∠D = ∠H = 162°
