The calculated value of the variable x in the trapezoid is 15

How to determine the value of the variable x

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The trapezoid ABCE

This trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid.

In the isosceles trapezoid, the sum of the opposite angles is 180 degrees.

Then the sum of the angle B and angle D will be 180°.

∠B + ∠D = 180°

9x + 3x = 180

12x = 180°

x = 180°/12

Evaluate

x = 15°

Hence, the value of the variable x is 15.
