In an isosceles trapezoid BCDE, the angle B = 80 degrees. Find the angle KDE if the segment DK

In an isosceles trapezoid BCDE, the angle B = 80 degrees. Find the angle KDE if the segment DK is parallel to the side of the BC.

Angle DEB = CBE = 80, since the angles at the bases of the trapezoid are equal.

The angle DKE = CBE = 80, as the corresponding angles at the intersection of parallel straight lines BC and DK secant BE.

Determine the value of the angle KDE of the triangle KDE.

Angle KDE = 180 – DEK – DKE = 180 – 80 – 80 = 20.

Answer: The value of the KDE angle is 20.
