• Given the dimensions of ABCD:
m∠A = 71.68 degrees
m∠C = 47.68 degrees
m∠D = 141.87 degrees
CD = 4
AD = 6
BC = 8
• Dimensions of KLMN:
m∠K = 71.52 degrees
m∠L = 98.87 degrees
m∠M = 47.53 degrees
KL = 10
KN = 15
MN = 10
Let's find the missing values.
Given that figure ABCD is a dilation of KLMN, both figures are similar.
• Similar figures have proportional corresponding sides.
,• Similar figures have equal corresponding angles.
Therefore, we have the corresponding sides:
AB ⇔ KL
BC ⇔ LM
CD ⇔ MN
AD ⇔ KN
The corresponding angles are:
m∠A = m∠K
m∠B = m∠L
m∠C = m∠M
m∠D = m∠N
Thus, to find the missing values, we have:
• X = m∠B = m∠L = 98.87 degrees
X = 98.87 degrees.
• Y = m∠N = m∠D = 141.87 degrees.
Y = 141.87 degrees
• To find the value of ,a,, apply the proportionality equation:
[tex]\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{KL}{KN}[/tex]Plug in values and solve for a:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{a}{6}=\frac{10}{15} \\ \\ \text{Cross multiply:} \\ 15a=10\times6 \\ \\ 15a=60 \\ \\ a=\frac{60}{15} \\ \\ a=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]• To find the value of ,b,, apply the proportionality equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{DC}{BC}=\frac{NM}{LM} \\ \\ \frac{4}{8}=\frac{10}{b} \\ \\ \text{Cross multiply:} \\ 4b=10\times8 \\ \\ 4b=80 \\ \\ b=\frac{80}{4} \\ \\ b=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]ANSWER:
• X = 98.87°
,• Y = 141.87°
,• a = 4
,• b = 20
