Find the angles of the trapezoid in trapezoid ABCD ∠D≈60 °, AB≈BC and AC⊥CD.
May 1, 2021 | education
| By the property of angles in a trapezoid: the sum of the angles belonging to one side is equal to 180.
We have:
∠C + ∠D = 180;
∠С = 180 – 60 = 120.
∠С = ∠ВСА + ∠АСD, where ∠АСD = 90, because AC⊥CD.
120 = ∠BCA + 90; ∠BCA = 30.
ΔABS is an isosceles triangle, because AB = BC.
Then ∠BAC = ∠BCA = 30.
ΔАСD – right-angled triangle and ∠D + ∠АСD + ∠САD = 180,
whence ∠САD = 180 – 60 – 90 = 30.
∠A = ∠BAC + ∠CAD = 30 + 30 = 60.
∠В = 360 – ∠А – ∠С – D = 360 – 60 – 120 – 60 = 120.
Answer: ∠А = ∠D = 60 °, ∠В = ∠С = 120 °.
