Since triangles ABC and DEF are congruent, the measures of their corresponding angles are equal. Therefore, we have:
\[ m \angle A = m \angle D \]
According to the problem, we are given:
\[ m \angle A = x + 27 \] \[ m \angle D = 2x \]
Setting these two expressions equal to each other since the angles are congruent:
\[ x + 27 = 2x \]
Now, we can solve for \(x\):
-
Subtract \(x\) from both sides: \[ 27 = 2x - x \] \[ 27 = x \]
-
Now that we have found \(x\), we can find the measure of angle A: \[ m \angle A = x + 27 = 27 + 27 = 54 \]
-
Also, we can find the measure of angle D: \[ m \angle D = 2x = 2 \times 27 = 54 \]
Thus, the final answers are:
Part 1: \[ m \angle A = 54 \]
Part 2: \[ m \angle D = 54 \]
