Question 7

Answer: A) 15

---------------------

Work Shown:

angle B = angle D = 56

angle C = angle F = 64

The missing angle A adds with B and C to get 180

A+B+C = 180

A = 180-B-C

A = 180-56-64

A = 60

Since angles B and D are congruent, and C and F are congruent, this must mean angle A = angle E. I'm using the angle angle (AA) similarity rule.

angle E = angle A

3x+15 = 60

3x = 60-15

3x = 45

x = 45/3

x = 15

Side note: I'm not sure why your teacher marked angle E as the same as angles C and F. They should have used another angle marker to indicate that angles A and E are the same.

Question 8

Answer: B) 17

------------------------------

Work Shown:

Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EDF. The order is important. We have A first, then B, then C for ABC. Also, we have E first, then D, then F for EDF.

Therefore, we have these three pairings

  • angle A = angle E
  • angle B = angle D
  • angle C = angle F

We'll first need angle C

A+B+C = 180

C = 180-A-B

C = 180-42-108

C = 30

which we'll then solve for x

angle F = angle C

4x-4 = 30

4x = 30+4

4x = 34

x = 34/4

x = 8.5

which doubles to

2x = 2*8.5

2x = 17
