Parallelogram ACFD is split in two parts so that ABED and FEBC are congruent isosceles trapezoids. What are the measures of all the angles of trapezoid FEBC if angle D is 48°? Angle C = _________________ Angle F = _________________ (Hint: Angle A is congruent to Angle F) Angle

angle C = angle D angle F=angle A=180-angle C this are from the laws of parallelogram

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For Angle C: Remember: Opposite angles in parallelograms are congruent. For Angle A: Remember: Consecutive Angles in parallelograms are supplementary. For <CBE: Remember: The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent. For <FEB: Remember: Remember that all angles in a trapezoid add up to 360 and that the following is true for isosceles trapezoids. |dw:1342881337866:dw|

OpenStudy (ledah):

so c would equal 48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. <C = 48º

OpenStudy (ledah):

what does supplementary mean again? Its been a while since I've heard that word..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

supplementary means <1 + <2 = 180º

OpenStudy (ledah):

angles 1&2?

OpenStudy (ledah):

how would I go about finding those?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Supplementary just means that the angles that are supplementary add up to 180.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If consecutive angles are supplementary, then <D + <F = 180

OpenStudy (ledah):

Ohhh Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does <F = then?

OpenStudy (ledah):

It's an obtuse angle so... it has to be more than 160 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I had to leave... 48 + <F = 180 <F = 132

OpenStudy (ledah):

Its okay I had my brother help me. thanks for your time though :D Much appreciated
