A
B
C
D
Explanation
Correct answer: C.
Choice C is correct. It's given that triangle is obtained by a dilation of triangle . It follows that triangle is similar to triangle , where corresponds to . Since corresponding angles in similar triangles have the same measure and the measure of angle is degrees, it follows that the measure of angle is also degrees.
Desmos solution:
Note: Corresponding angles in similar triangles have equal measure, so angle X equals angle A, which is 60°.
