Given that ABCD ≅ FGHJ
We know that corresponding angles of two congruent
quadrilaterals are equal
Therefore,
m∠A = m∠F
m∠B = m∠G
m∠C = m∠H
m∠D = m∠I
Given,
m∠C = 9x – 7
m∠H = 5x + 13
Since m∠C = m∠H
9x – 7 = 5x + 13
Add 7 to both sides of the equation
9x – 7 + 7 = 5x + 13 + 7
9x = 5x + 20
Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation
9x – 5x = 5x – 5x + 20
4x = 20
Divide both sides of the equation by 4
4x/4 = 20/4
x = 5
To determine the measures of angle C and angle H
m∠C = m∠H
We know that m∠C = 9x – 7
Since x = 5
m∠C = 9(5) – 7
m∠C = 45 – 7
m∠C = 38
Therefore, m∠C = m∠H = 38 degrees
