Why is a parallelogram not the same type of quadrilateral as trapezoid

1 answer:

A quadrilateral trapezoid means that there are four sides to the trapezoid. But two of those sides (which are across from each other if you were to draw it out) are not parallel, meaning that if you were to continue the lines they start from, they would eventually cross. A parallelogram means that all opposite sides are parallel. Hope this helps you!! :)

ABCD is a rectangle. The length of BD is 8 units, and m angle ABD is 67°. The length of AC is units, and m angle CDB is °.

See the attached picture to better understand the problem
we know that
in rectangle ABCD
AB=CD
and
AD=BC
therefore
the triangle ACD and triangle ABC are congruent
so
BD=AC
BD=8 units

the answer part a) is
BD= 8 units

Part b) Find angle CBD

we know that
∠ABD+∠CBD=90°---------> by complementary angles
so
∠CBD=90-∠ABD-----> 90-67----> 23°
∠CBD=23°

the answer Part b) is
∠CBD=23 degrees
