Step-by-step solution

  1. Analyze the given figure and identify its properties.

    The figure is a quadrilateral TSNE. The arrows on TN and SE indicate that TN∥SETN \parallel SE. The tick marks on TS and NE indicate that TS=NETS = NE. These properties define the figure as an isosceles trapezoid.

    In an isosceles trapezoid, two key properties are:

    1. The lengths of the non-parallel sides (legs) are equal: TS=NETS = NE. Setting the expressions equal: 2x+3=x+12  ⟹  x=92x + 3 = x + 12 \implies x = 9.
    2. The consecutive interior angles between the parallel bases and a non-parallel side (leg) are supplementary. For leg NE, ∠TEN\angle TEN and ∠ENS\angle ENS are consecutive interior angles. Setting the sum of the expressions to 180∘180^\circ: (5x+4)+(7x+8)=180  ⟹  12x+12=180  ⟹  12x=168  ⟹  x=14(5x + 4) + (7x + 8) = 180 \implies 12x + 12 = 180 \implies 12x = 168 \implies x = 14.

    Since these two properties yield different values for xx (x=9x=9 from side lengths and x=14x=14 from angles), there is an inconsistency in the problem statement. We will proceed by using the value of xx derived from the angle relationship, as it involves both given angle expressions.

  2. Calculate the measure of ∠TEN\angle TEN (A8).

    Using x=14x=14 from the angle relationship:

    ∠TEN=(5x+4)∘=(5(14)+4)∘=(70+4)∘=74∘\angle TEN = (5x + 4)^\circ = (5(14) + 4)^\circ = (70 + 4)^\circ = 74^\circ

    The measure of ∠TEN\angle TEN is 74∘\boxed{\text{74}^\circ}.

  3. Calculate the measure of ∠ENS\angle ENS (A9).

    Using x=14x=14:

    ∠ENS=(7x+8)∘=(7(14)+8)∘=(98+8)∘=106∘\angle ENS = (7x + 8)^\circ = (7(14) + 8)^\circ = (98 + 8)^\circ = 106^\circ

    The measure of ∠ENS\angle ENS is 106∘\boxed{\text{106}^\circ}.
    (Check: 74∘+106∘=180∘74^\circ + 106^\circ = 180^\circ, which is consistent with the supplementary angle property.)

  4. Calculate the length of TS (A10).

    Using x=14x=14:

    TS=(2x+3) cm=(2(14)+3) cm=(28+3) cm=31 cm\text{TS} = (2x + 3) \text{ cm} = (2(14) + 3) \text{ cm} = (28 + 3) \text{ cm} = 31 \text{ cm}

    The length of TS is 31 cm\boxed{\text{31 cm}}.
