Question

Given triangle, ABC is congruent to triangle EDC find A

Answer 1

m<A = 30 degrees.

Explanation:

m < C in triangle ABC = m < C in EDC so

x + 13 + 42 + x + 13 = 180

2x = 180 - 13 - 13 - 42

2x = 112

x = 56.

So m < C = 56+13 = 69.

m < B = m < D = 81

M < A = 180 - 69 - 81

= 180 - 150 = 30.
