In the triangles, XY = MP and YZ = PN. Triangles Y X Z and P M N are shown. The length of side X Z is 23 inches. The length of side M N is 19 inches. Sides X Y and M P are congruent. Sides Y Z and P N are congruent.

If mAngle P = 85°, which is a possible measure for Angle Y?

mAngleY = 80°

mAngleY = 85°

mAngleY = 100°

mAngleY = 180°

-232

step-by-step explanation:

< xcy ≅ < xby

step-by-step explanation:

in δcax and δbax,

so, δcax ≅ δbax (side-angle-side or sas)

since δcax ≅ δbax, we can conclude < acx ≅ < abx

in δacy and δaby,

so, δacy ≅ δaby (side-angle-side or sas)

since δacy ≅ δaby, we can conclude < acy ≅ < aby

now,

< acy ≅ < aby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < abx + < xby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < acx + < xby   (since < acx ≅ < abx already proved above)

subtracting < acx from both sides, we get

< acx + < xcy -< acx ≅ < acx + < xby -< acx

cancelling out < acx and -< acx from both sides, we get

< xcy ≅ < xby (proved)

my guess is
