medal to the correct answer with an explanation!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ABE and ADE are right triangles, which may help. Look to apply c^2=a^2 + b^2 perhaps.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Since triangles STQ and SRQ are both right triangles, can you conclude they are congruent?

hartnn (hartnn):

since TQ = QR can you try to prove triangles TSQ and RSQ as congruent ? then 2x+13 will be = 21

hartnn (hartnn):

and you will find angle TSQ as 21 now in triangle TSQ , you know 2 angles, not difficult to find 3rd :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still confusing

hartnn (hartnn):

do you know what 'congruent triangles' mean ? or how to prove 2 triangles congruent ?

hartnn (hartnn):

have you been taught Hypotenuse Leg test for congruency ? 'HL (hypotenuse leg of a right triangle) Two right triangles are congruent if the hypotenuse and one leg are equal.'

hartnn (hartnn):

from that does it make sense to conclude, triangles TSQ and RSQ are congruent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

hartnn (hartnn):

then the corresponding angles of those triangles are also congruent, which gives you angleTSQ = 21

hartnn (hartnn):

in any triangle, sum of angles = 180 in triangle TSQ, 90 + angle SQT + 21 = 180 just find angle SQT from here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

69!

hartnn (hartnn):

thats one nasty and correct answer you have got! :P
