answer: A. 10⁰

step by step explnation:

If ABCD ≅ QRST, then m∠A = m∠Q,sox-10 = 2x - 302x-x=30-10x=20m∠A = x - 10 =20-10 = 10m∠A = 10⁰

Let's assume that these are congruent parallelograms..

Since, They are congruent their angles and sides will be equal.

  • *Note that:- We assumed these to be parallelograms because square and rectangle have all angles 90° which is not possible to be formed with the given info...


\pink{⊱─━━━━━━━━⊱༻●༺⊰━━━━━━━━─⊰}


\rm \: m∠A = m∠Q

  • m∠A = x-10°
  • m∠Q = 2x-30°

Solve for X using the equation...


\rm \: x - 10 = 2x - 30


\rm \: x -2x = - 30 + 10


\rm \: -x = - 20


\rm \: x = 20

Now,


\sf \: m∠A =x - 10 \\ = > \sf \: 20 - 10 \\ = > \sf \: 10 \degree


\sf m∠Q =2x - 30 \\ = > \sf \: 2 * 20 - 30 \\ = > \sf \: 10 \degree

  • Thus, Option A is the correct choice!!~
