Determine the measure of angle A. PLEASE HELP PLEASE. a.54 DEGREES
b.1 DEGREES
c.36 DEGREES
d.32 DEGREES

===================================================

Explanation:

Place point B at the intersection of the lines where the 90 degree angle is located.

Place point C at the other intersection point.

So we have triangle ABC.

Since we have a right angle, this means angle B is 90 degrees.

Angle C is 55x-1 degrees because it's vertical to the angle shown. Vertical angles are congruent.

See the diagram below.

-------------

From here we use the idea that all three angles of any triangle always add to 180

A+B+C = 180

(36x) + (90) + (55x-1) = 180

91x+89 = 180

91x = 180-89

91x = 91

x = 91/91

x = 1

Use this x value to find angle A and C

A = 36x = 36*1 = 36

C = 55x-1 = 55*1-1 = 54

Finding angle C is optional since your teacher just wants angle A, but it's useful to help check our answer

A+B+C = 36+90+54 = 180

So this confirms we have the right x value.

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
