Find the missing length.

  D.  25

Step-by-step explanation:

The left end of the baseline has measure (x-16). In this geometry all of the right triangles are similar, so the short-to-long side ratios are proportional:

  (x -16)/12 = 12/16

  x -16 = 9 . . . . . . . multiply by 12

  x = 25 . . . . . . . . . add 16

The unknown length x is 25.

m∠5 + m∠3 = m∠1   is true.

m∠5 + m∠6 = 180 is true

m∠2 +m∠3 = m∠6   is true

m∠2 +m∠3 +m∠5 = 180   is true

what’s the question?
