Right trapezoid WXYZ is shown. Right trapezoid W X Y Z is shown. Sides X Y and W Z are parallel. Angle W is 73 degrees and angle
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

∠WXY = 107°

Step-by-step 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°.

I hope this helps :))

How do I solve b/4 = 9
frutty [35]
<span>Simplifying b4 = 9 Solving b4 = 9 Solving for variable 'b'. Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying b4 = 9 Reorder the terms: -9 + b4 = 9 + -9 Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0 -9 + b4 = 0 Factor a difference between two squares. (3 + b2)(-3 + b2) = 0</span>
