Given that UVWX is a trapezium and UVX is an isosceles triangle, find the values of
- ∠x
- ∠y
(a)
∠x
= 180° - 83°
= 97° (Interior angles)
(b)
∠XVU
= 83° ÷ 2
= 41.5° (Exterior angle of a triangle)
∠WXV = ∠XVU = 41.5° (Alternate angles)
∠y
= 180° - 88° - 41.5°
= 50.5° (Angles sum of triangle)
Answer(s): (a) 97°; (b) 50.5°
