Find the larger angle of the isosceles trapezoid ABCD if the diagonal AC makes angles equal to 25

Find the larger angle of the isosceles trapezoid ABCD if the diagonal AC makes angles equal to 25 ° and 40 ° with the base AD and the side AB, respectively.

By condition, the angle CAD = 40, and the angle BAC = 250 then the angle BAD = BAC + CAD = 40 + 25 = 65.

In a trapezoid, the sum of the angles at the lateral surface is 180, then the angle ABC + BAD = 180.

Angle ABC = 180 – BAD = 180 – 65 = 115.

Answer: The larger angle of the trapezoid is 115.
