Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem states:
In quadrilateral :
- (indicating that could potentially be an isosceles trapezoid or some other special quadrilateral),
- ,
- ,
- .
We are to find the other two angles, and .
Solution
-
Since , we know that is a trapezoid.
-
In any quadrilateral, the sum of the interior angles is .
-
Therefore, we have:
-
Substituting the known values: Simplifying:
-
In an isosceles trapezoid with and , opposite angles (formed by non-parallel sides) are supplementary. Thus:
-
Since , we have:
-
Since , we have:
Final Answer
The other two angles are:
