What is the value of the angle x
?
x =
ANSWER ^\circ
\triangle ABC
and \triangle BCD
have three sides equal.
They share side BC
.
AB = CD
AC = BD
Therefore \triangle ABC
and \triangle BCD
are congruent.
Congruent triangles also have congruent (equal) angles.
If we superimpose these two triangles, by rotating \triangle ABC
,
we see that angle x
corresponds to \angle ANGLE_LABELS[ANG_LEFT]
.
Angle x
is therefore equal to ANSWER^\circ
.
x =

\triangle ABC
and \triangle BCD
have three sides equal.
They share side BC
.
AB = CD
AC = BD
Therefore \triangle ABC
and \triangle BCD
are congruent.
Congruent triangles also have congruent (equal) angles.
If we superimpose these two triangles, by rotating \triangle ABC
,
we see that angle x
corresponds to \angle ANGLE_LABELS[ANG_LEFT]
.
ANGLE_LABELS[ANG_LEFT] = 180^\circ - TR_A.angles[ANG_FIRST[0]]^\circ - TR_A.angles[ANG_FIRST[1]]^\circ
ANGLE_LABELS[ ANG_LEFT ] = x = ANSWER^\circ
x =
ANSWER ^\circ
\angle DAE
forms a vertical angle with \angle BAC
, so \angle DAE = \angle BAC
.
\triangle ABC
and \triangle ADE
also have two sides equal.
Therefore \triangle ABC
and \triangle ADE
are congruent.
Congruent triangles also have congruent (equal) angles.
If we superimpose these two triangles, by flipping \triangle EDA
,
we see that angle x
corresponds to \angle ANGLE_LABELS[SHOW_ANGLE]
.
ANGLE_LABELS[SHOW_ANGLE] = 180 - TR_A.angles[ANG_FIRST[0]] - TR_A.angles[ANG_FIRST[1]]
ANGLE_LABELS[SHOW_ANGLE] = x = TR_B.angles[ANG_LEFT]
Angle x
is therefore equal to ANSWER^\circ
.
