Explanation
Correct answer: C.
Choice C is correct. Since and , side is parallel to the y-axis and has a length of . Since and , side is parallel to the x-axis and has a length of . Therefore, triangle is a right isosceles triangle, where has measure and and each have measure . It follows that if the measure of is , then . Since and , side is parallel to the y-axis and has a length of . Since and , side is parallel to the x-axis and has a length of . Therefore, triangle is a right isosceles triangle, where has measure and and each have measure . Of the given choices, only is equal to , so the measure of is .
