A
B
C
D
Explanation
Correct answer: C.
Choice C is correct. It's given that triangle is similar to triangle , such that , , and correspond to , , and , respectively. Since corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent, it follows that the measure of is congruent to the measure of . It's given that the measure of is . Therefore, the measure of is .
Desmos solution:
Note: Set ∠Z = 20°. Since corresponding angles in similar triangles are equal, ∠T = ∠Z, so the answer is 20°.
