Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine the measure of in quadrilateral , let's analyze the properties of the shape and the information given:
-
Identify the Shape: Quadrilateral appears to be an isosceles trapezoid because it has one pair of parallel sides ( and ), and the non-parallel sides ( and ) are congruent, as indicated by the tick marks.
-
Properties of Isosceles Trapezoids: In an isosceles trapezoid, the consecutive angles between a pair of parallel sides are supplementary. This means:
-
Given Angle: The measure of is provided as .
-
Calculate : Since and are consecutive angles along the parallel sides and , they must add up to .
Conclusion:
The measure of in quadrilateral is .
The correct answer is: 65°
