One angle of an isosceles trapezoid has measure 57. Find the measures of the other angles.

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Is there a picture to go with this? @Mrfootballman97

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Do you know if it is one of the base angles? Or is it the angle at the top of the triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Trapezoids sum.. I believe is 360

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Interior angles sum is 360... right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhhhhh ok then. So could the angles be anything as long as they add up to be 360?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

They can't be any number... we would have to know what Isosceles is.

Opposite angles are Supplementary

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one guy said this: Since it is an isosceles trapezoid, the base angles are the same. By property of // lines, you can find c and b. ^ (sum of interior angle of // lines = 180 degrees)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Callisto was the person

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

He is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Being that opposite angles are supplementary... we know that Supplementary is 180, right?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

180 - 57 = 123
