Answer:

A

Explanation:

Given that the triangles are congruent then corresponding angles are congruent, thus

∠ S = ∠ Y = 108°

∠ T = ∠ Z = 9n - 4

Given ∠ R = 6n + 1

The sum of the 3 angles in Δ RST = 180°

Sum the 3 angles and equate to 180, that is

6n + 1 + 108 + 9n - 4 = 180 , simplify

15n + 105 = 180 ( subtract 105 from both sides )

15n = 75 ( divide both sides by 15 )

n = 5 → A
