Answer: ∠E=55°

Explanation:

Concept

- In all similar triangles, their corresponding angle will be the same value

- Triangle angle sum theorem: the three interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°

Given

- Two pairs of corresponding angles

- Two similar triangles

Solve

(6x-15)+4x=(5x-1)+4x ⇔ Add the angles up

6x-15=5x-1 ⇔ Subtract 4x on both sides

x-15=-1 ⇔ Substract 5x on both sides

x=14 ⇔ Add 15 on both sides

180-4x-(5x-1) ⇔ Find ∠E by subtracting the other two angles from 180

=180-4(14)-([5(14)-1]

=180-56-69

=55°

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
