Answer:

112

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that a triangle's sides must add up to have a sum of 180. If you add up your given lengths and you should get 47, not including x. Then if you look at the left side/the one without a given length and it should be identical to the 21, so you know that side is 21. So now add 21 to 47, you should get 68. Finally, you subtract 68 from 180 like this: 180-68, and it should equal 112. So you're answer is 112.

Given the isosceles trapezoid below, find AG.<br> Show all the work

Dmitry [639]

We know the width of the rectangle in the middle of the trapezoid is 24 (from the top of the image), so we can subtract that from the bottom width of the trapezoid to get the combined length of the bottom of both triangles.

$40 - 24 = 16$

Since this is an isosceles trapezoid, both triangle bases are the same length, so we can cut this value in half to get the length of $GT$ and $EF$

$\frac{16}{2} = 8$

Finally, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of $AG$ :

$AG^{2} + GT^{2} = AT^{2}$

$AG^{2} + 8^{2} = 10^{2}$

$AG^{2} + 64 = 100$

$AG^{2} = 36$

$AG = 6$

We have seen that isosceles triangles have two sides of equal length. The angles opposite these sides have the same measure. Use

dedylja [7]

angle 1 = 180° - 115° (Linear Pair)

<u>angle 1 = 65°</u>

<u>angle 2 = angle 1 = 65°</u> ( Angles on the equal sides of an isosceles triangle )

angle 3 = 180° - (65° + 65°) (Angle Sum Property)

angle 3 = 180° - 130°

<u>angle</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>5</u><u>0</u><u>°</u>

angle 4 = 180° - 65° (Linear Pair)

<u>angle</u><u> </u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>1</u><u>5</u><u>°</u>

<u>angle</u><u> </u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>1</u><u>5</u><u>°</u> (Vertically Opposite Angles)
