Question

Quadrilateral QRST is shown, with side lengths in inches (in.) and angle measurements in degrees.

2 in.
R
135°
3 in.
√18 in.
45°
S
5 in.
Lynn draws quadrilateral WXYZ, which is similar to quadrilateral QRST, with WX = 5 in
Enter values in the blank boxes to make the statement true.
The length of WZ is
2
degrees.
inches and the measure of angle Y is

Answer 1

Y will be 65°

Explanation:

Since angle S is 65°, angle Y will also be 65°

What are similar shape ?

Similar shapes are shapes that have the same shape, but their sizes may vary. All equilateral triangles, squares of any side lengths are examples of similar objects. In other words, if two triangles are similar, then their corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are in equal proportion.

Since quadrilateral QRST is similar to quadrilateral WXYZ, then angle Q = angle W , angle R = angle X and angle S = angle Y and angle T = angle Z.

Since angle S is 65° from the diagram shown, angle will be measured as 65°.
