Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of congruent triangles

Since \(\triangle ACP\cong\triangle LNX\), corresponding parts are equal.

  • For side lengths:
  • \(XL = AP\) (corresponding sides). Given \(AP = 13\mathrm{cm}\), so \(XL=13\mathrm{cm}\).
  • \(AC = LN\) (corresponding sides). Given \(LN = 21\mathrm{cm}\), so \(AC = 21\mathrm{cm}\).
  • \(PC=NX\) (corresponding sides). Since \(NX\) is not directly given in a non - side - marked way, but by the congruence of the triangles, we can also use the fact that in congruent triangles, all corresponding elements match.
  • For angles:
  • \(m\angle L=m\angle A\) (corresponding angles). Given \(m\angle A = 29^{\circ}\), so \(m\angle L=29^{\circ}\).
  • \(m\angle C=m\angle N\). In \(\triangle LNX\), since \(LN = NX\) (marked as equal), \(\triangle LNX\) is isosceles. But since \(\triangle ACP\cong\triangle LNX\), and in \(\triangle ACP\) we don't have angle - side relations other than through congruence. However, using the angle - sum property of a triangle (\(180^{\circ}\) in a triangle) and the fact that \(\triangle ACP\cong\triangle LNX\), and if we assume no other markings (except the given side and angle in \(\triangle ACP\) and side markings in \(\triangle LNX\)), we know that \(m\angle C=m\angle N\). But since \(\triangle LNX\) has \(LN = NX\), \(m\angle L=m\angle X\) (base angles of isosceles triangle). Wait, no, \(\triangle ACP\cong\triangle LNX\), so \(m\angle C=m\angle N\), \(m\angle A=m\angle L = 29^{\circ}\), \(m\angle P=m\angle X\).
  • \(m\angle X=m\angle P\). In \(\triangle ACP\), using the angle - sum property \(m\angle A+m\angle C+m\angle P=180^{\circ}\). In \(\triangle LNX\), \(m\angle L+m\angle N+m\angle X=180^{\circ}\). Since \(m\angle A = m\angle L\) and \(m\angle C=m\angle N\), then \(m\angle P=m\angle X\). But if we assume that in \(\triangle ACP\), we can calculate \(m\angle P\) as \(180-(29 + m\angle C)\). But since \(\triangle ACP\cong\triangle LNX\) and \(LN = NX\) (so \(m\angle L=m\angle X\) in \(\triangle LNX\) if we consider the side - angle relations in \(\triangle LNX\) (isosceles triangle with \(LN = NX\)), but actually, because of congruence \(m\angle A=m\angle L = 29^{\circ}\), \(m\angle X=m\angle P\). And in \(\triangle ACP\), if we assume no other angles are given (except \(\angle A\)), but using the congruence and the fact that in \(\triangle LNX\) (with \(LN = NX\)) \(m\angle L=m\angle X\) (by isosceles triangle property, sides \(LN = NX\) implies base angles \(\angle L\) and \(\angle X\) are equal). So \(m\angle X = 29^{\circ}\)

Answer:

a) \(XL = 13\mathrm{cm}\)
b) \(AC=21\mathrm{cm}\)
c) \(PC = 21\mathrm{cm}\) (since \(NX = 21\mathrm{cm}\) as \(LN = NX\) and \(PC = NX\) by congruence)
d) \(m\angle L=29^{\circ}\)
e) \(m\angle C = 122^{\circ}\) (using angle - sum property in \(\triangle ACP\): \(m\angle C=180-(29 + 29)=122^{\circ}\))
f) \(m\angle X = 29^{\circ}\)
