If mZVST = (5x + 23)° and mZVUT =
(8x – 49)º, find mZSVT.

sss (side, side, side)

sas (side, angle, side)

asa (angle, side, angle)

aas (angle, angle, side)

hl (hypotenuse, leg)

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.

step-by-step explanation :

we know that

the measurement of the outer angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

in this problem

m< xzy is the outer angle

substitute the values

the measure of angle xoy is equal to

> by central angle

substitute the value
