Question

Can Someone please explain this, please. Tell me how do I start the problem Thanks!

Answer 1

x = 35, y = 15°

Explanation:

6. Since ΔRST ≅ ΔXYZ, RT = XZ because of CPCTC which means:

x + 21 = 2x - 14

-x = -35

x = 35

7. Again, since ΔRST ≅ ΔXYZ, ∠R ≅ ∠X because of CPCTC which means:

4y - 10 = 3y + 5

y = 15°
