PROPERTIES OF TRAPEZOID.

Answer the following questions:

1) Find each missing value on the trapezoids below.

Solve for ∠R:

∠S + ∠R = 180
65 + ∠R = 180
∠R = 115

Solve for ∠Q:

∠P + ∠Q = 180
∠Q = 105

Solve for x and the value of MN:

MN = ½ (VU + WT)
-x + 21 = ½ (11 + 17)
-x + 21 = ½ (28)
-x + 21 = 14
-x = 14 – 21
-x = -7
X= 7

MN = -7 + 21
MN = 14

Solve for DG:

ST = ½ (EF + DG)
19 = ½ (13 + DG)
2 * 19 = ½ (13 + DG) *2
2 * 19 = ½ (13 + DG) *2
38 = 13 + DG
DG = 38 – 13
DG = 25
Solve for VU:

FG = ½ (TW + VU)
7x – 4 = ½ (38 + 6x – 6)
7x – 4 = ½ (32 + 6x)
7x – 4 = 16 + 3x
7x = 16 + 3x + 4
7x = 20 + 3x
-20 = -7x + 3x
-20 = -4x
(-20 = -4x)/-4
X=5

OR

FG = ½ (TW + VU)
7x – 4 = ½ (38 + 6x – 6)
7x – 4 = ½ (32 + 6x)
(2) 7x – 4 = ½ (32 + 6x) (2)
14x – 8 = 32 + 6x
14x – 6x = 32 + 8
(8x = 40)/8
X=5

VU = 6X – 6
VU = 6 (5) – 6
VU = 30 – 6
VU = 24

EC = 20
FD = 5X – 10
Solve for the value FD:

EC = FD
20 = 5X – 10
-5X = -20 – 10
(-5X = -30)/-5
X=6

OR

EC = FD
20 = 5X – 10
20 + 10 = 5X
(30 = 5X)/5
X=6
Solve for m∠D:

∠A + ∠B = 180
11x + 8 + 95 = 180
11x + 103 = 180
11x = 180 – 103
(11x = 77)/11
x=7

∠A = ∠D
11X + 8 = ∠D
11 (7) + 8 = ∠D
77 + 8 = ∠D
85 = ∠D

Solve for m∠R:

∠S + ∠R = 180
51 + ∠R = 180
∠R = 180 – 51
∠R = 129

∠S + ∠Q = 180
51 + 28X - 11 = 180
40 + 28x = 180
28x = 180 – 40
(28x = 140)/28
X=5

∠q = ∠r
28x – 11 = ∠r
28 (5) – 11 = ∠r
140 – 11 = ∠r
129 = r

Solve for m∠S:

∠T + ∠V = 180
12X – 28 + 5X + 38 = 180
12X + 5X + 10 = 180
17X + 10 = 180
17X = 180 – 10
(17X = 170)/17
X = 10

∠V = ∠S
5 (10) + 38 = ∠S
50 + 38 = ∠S
88 = ∠S

∠U:
∠T = ∠U
12X – 28 = ∠U
12(10) – 28 = ∠U
120 – 28 = ∠U
92 = ∠U

∠U + ∠V = 180
∠U = 180 – 88
∠U = 92

∠J + ∠M = 180
87 + ∠M = 180
∠M = 180 – 87
∠M = 93

∠K + ∠L = 180
∠K + 51 = 180
∠K = 180 – 51
∠K = 12
