The right   triangle    at  the top and the one on  the right   are congruent—they
have the same hypotenuse and the same longer leg—so the two
unknown angles in the upper right are equal:

And now that    you know    the other   two angles  in  that    triangle    with    y,  you

can solve   for y :

Therefore,  y   –   x   =   75  –   15  =   60.

Think of the original statement as “If p, then q,” in which p is “x is a
member of set S,” and q is “x is not a member of set T.” “If p, then q” is
equivalent to “If not q, then not p,” or “If x is a member of set T, then x is
not a member of set S.” That’s statement I. Statement II does not follow
because it’s “If q, then p,” and statement III does not follow because it’s
“If not p, then not q.”

The perimeter of triangle ABC is 20. One side is given as 4, so the other
two sides add up to 16. The three sides cannot be 4, 4, and 12, because
that violates the Triangle Inequality Theorem. The sides must be 4, 8, and
8:
