first find y
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
180 = 90 + 29 + Y
Y = 180-90-29 = 61
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
now, 180 = 90 + 17 + Y + X
X = 180 - 90 -17 - Y
= 90-17-61
= 12

yep
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its seperated by the arrow right?
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
a common side; NL
both have a 90 angle KN and NM
KN = NM = 6
so we have SAS (side, angle, side) proving congruence
We know that congruent triangles have equivalent corresponding side lengths,
so the side-lengths opposite the right angle are equal
KL = LM =9
