Angle A of isosceles trapezoid ABCD is 75 °. From point D. A straight line is drawn

Angle A of isosceles trapezoid ABCD is 75 °. From point D. A straight line is drawn that intersects line BC at point K, and CD = DK. Find angle CDK.

Since, by condition, СD = DC, then DC, in this case, intersects BC on its extension.

The trapezoid of AВСD is isosceles, then the angle of ABС = ВAD = 75.

The sum of the angles of the trapezoid at its lateral side is 180, then the angle of the ВСD = (180 – ADС) = (180 – 75) = 105.

The DSC angle is adjacent to the ВСD angle, then DСК = (180 – 105) = 75.

The SDK triangle is isosceles, since СD = DC, then the angle СDK = DСK = 75.

Then the angle СDK = (180 – 75 – 75) = 30.

Answer: The СDK angle is 30.
