In an isosceles trapezoid, the base angles have the same measure pairwise.

The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360º

For the given trapezoid:


\begin{gathered} m\angle A+m\angle B+m\angle C+m\angle D=360 \\ \\ m\angle A=m\angle D \\ m\angle B=m\angle C \end{gathered}

Given angle B has a measure of 110º


m\angle B=m\angle C=110
\begin{gathered} 2m\angle A+2m\angle B=360 \\ \\ 2m\angle A+2(110)=360 \end{gathered}

Use the equation above to find the measure of angle A:


\begin{gathered} 2m\angle A+220=360 \\ 2m\angle A=360-220 \\ 2m\angle A=140 \\ m\angle A=(140)/(2) \\ \\ m\angle A=70 \\ \\ m\angle A=m\angle D=70 \end{gathered}

Then, the measures of missing angles are:


\begin{gathered} m\angle A=70 \\ m\angle C=110 \\ m\angle D=70 \end{gathered}
