D: 112.6

Question 8

It is given that trapezoid EFGH is an isosceles trapezoid. We know that FE ≅ GH by the definition of . The base angle theorem of isosceles trapezoids verifies that angle is congruent to angle . We also see that EH ≅ EH by the property. Therefore, by , we see that ΔFHE ≅ ΔGEH.

B: isosceles trapezoid

Question 9

It is given that quadrilateral ABCD is a kite. We know that AD ≅ CD by the definition of . By the kite diagonal theorem, AC is to BD This means that angles AED and CED are right angles. We also see that ED ≅ ED by the property. Therefore, we have that ΔAED ≅ ΔCED by .
