3rd grade question work out the angles

30 in the diagram line e and made parallel to each other and line p and q are transversal. use properties of special angles formed by parallel lines and their transversals to find the missing angle measures. m< 3=65 m< 15=120 m< 7= m< 4= m< 6= m< 1= m< 16= m< 18= m< 21= m< 10= m< 11= m< 12=

△cde maps to △stu with the transformations (x, y) arrowright (x − 2, y − 2) arrowright (3x, 3y) arrowright (x, −y). if cd = a + 1, de = 2a − 1, st = 2b + 3 and tu = b + 6, find the values of a and b. the value of a is and the value of b is .

1. are the triangles similar and if so why? what is the value of x? show your work.
