Quadrilateral is similar to quadrilateral , where , , , and correspond to , , , and , respectively. The measure of angle is , the measure of angle is , and the measure of angle is . The length of each side of is times the length of each corresponding side of . What is the measure of angle ?
ExplanationShow
Choice B is correct. It's given that quadrilateral is similar to quadrilateral , where , , , and correspond to , , , and , respectively. Since corresponding angles of similar quadrilaterals are congruent, it follows that the measure of angle is equal to the measure of angle . It's given that the measure of angle is . Therefore, the measure of angle is .
Choice A is incorrect. This is the measure of angle .
Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
Choice D is incorrect. This is times the measure of angle .
