Question

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 angles Y and Z are right angles. What is the measure of angle WXY? 73° 90° 107° 163°

Answer 1

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 :))
