Question

Trapezoid WXYZ is isosceles. Angle WZY measures (8x – 3) and angle XYZ measures (7x + 2). Find the measure of angle WZY.

Answer 1

Answer:

37°

Explanation:

8x – 3 = 7x + 2

x = 5

Angle WZY = 8(5) – 3 = 37°

Answer 2

(8x-3)(7x+2)
     +3      +3
 8x=7x+5
-7    -7
        1x=5
         x=5
Wzy=5
