Question

Solve for Y

ABC = DEF

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

△ABC ≅ △DEF means that these two triangles are congruent to each other. Congruent triangles also have corresponding sides and angles that are equal to each other!

This means that angle A corresponds to angle D; and thus, we can set up in equation for these two to solve for y.

First, let's try to decipher what exactly we are solving. Y is what we are multiplying by five to get 60°, or angle A (congruent angle).

Now, we just solve it!

`60=5y`

y=12
