Question

Consider the following trapezoid.
Find the value of X.

Answer 1

x = 106 degrees

Explanation:

74 plus 74 = 148

360 is the interior angle sum of all trapezoids

360-148=212

212 is the sum of both x and y

x and y are the same measure.

212/2 = 106

Answer 2

106º

Explanation:

Because both the base angles are 74º. The known angles so far are 148º.

The top angles also have to be equal as they are on parallel lines so:

360 - 148 = 212º

212 / 2 = 106º
