Question

Right trapezoid WXYZ is shown.

What is the measure of angle WXY? a.73°

b.90°

c.107°

d.163°

NEED. NOW

Answer 1

C. 107°

Explanation:

In a trapezoid, adjacent angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180°.

∠W and ∠WXY are adjacent, so they are supplementary. 180° - 73° = 107°.

Another way to do this is to know that there are 360° in a trapezoid. This is a right trapezoid, so two of the angles are 90°. One angle is 73°. 90° + 90° + 73° = 253°.

360° - 253° = 107°.

Answer 2

I have attached an image of the right trapezoid.

Answer:

C: 107°

Explanation:

From the image attached, we can see that the right trapezoid has 2 internal angles which are right angles while it has a third angle which is 73°.

Now,we want to find angle WXY.

Sum of angles in a trapezoid is 360°.

Thus;

90 + 90 + 73 + ∠WXY = 360

253 + ∠WXY = 360

∠WXY = 360 - 253

∠WXY = 107°
