Answer;

O = 50°

Explanation and solution;

  • An isosceles trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has a pair of sides that opposite and are parallel and another pair of sides that are opposite and are congruent.
  • Both pairs of opposite angles in an isosceles trapezoid are supplementary which means their sum add up to 180°.

Therefore;

∠ B + ∠ A = 180° and ∠T + ∠O = 180°

Hence; ∠O = 180 -∠T

= 180 - 130°

= 50 °
