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?

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)

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
