Solving the problem: how many stones were in the original arch? 9. compare these angle measures to the angles of the trapezoid stone. what can you conclude about serena's theory that the arch has nine stones?

Final answer:

The analysis of the arch construction using voussoirs needs more information about the trapezoid stone's angle measures to verify Serena's theory that the arch has nine stones.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem at hand appears to require an analysis of an arch constructed with wedge-shaped stones called voussoirs. To assess Serena's theory that the arch has nine stones, we would compare the angle measures of the stones to the angles of a trapezoid - which is not explicitly detailed in the question - but the implication is that the number of stones would correspond to certain angle properties that match up with the geometry of a trapezoid. However, the provided information is not sufficient to confirm or deny the theory without additional details about the angle measures of the trapezoid stone referred to in the question.
