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
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|
so c would equal 48
Yes. <C = 48º
what does supplementary mean again? Its been a while since I've heard that word..
supplementary means <1 + <2 = 180º
angles 1&2?
how would I go about finding those?
Supplementary just means that the angles that are supplementary add up to 180.
If consecutive angles are supplementary, then <D + <F = 180
Ohhh Okay.
What does <F = then?
It's an obtuse angle so... it has to be more than 160 right?
Sorry, I had to leave... 48 + <F = 180 <F = 132
Its okay I had my brother help me. thanks for your time though :D Much appreciated
