Math Problem Statement

What is the measure of ∠ADC in quadrilateral ABCD?

Solution

To determine the measure of ADC\angle ADC in quadrilateral ABCDABCD, let's analyze the properties of the shape and the information given:

  1. Identify the Shape: Quadrilateral ABCDABCD appears to be an isosceles trapezoid because it has one pair of parallel sides (ABAB and CDCD), and the non-parallel sides (ADAD and BCBC) are congruent, as indicated by the tick marks.

  2. Properties of Isosceles Trapezoids: In an isosceles trapezoid, the consecutive angles between a pair of parallel sides are supplementary. This means: A+D=180andB+C=180\angle A + \angle D = 180^\circ \quad \text{and} \quad \angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ

  3. Given Angle: The measure of A\angle A is provided as 115115^\circ.

  4. Calculate D\angle D: Since A\angle A and D\angle D are consecutive angles along the parallel sides ABAB and CDCD, they must add up to 180180^\circ. D=180115=65\angle D = 180^\circ - 115^\circ = 65^\circ

Conclusion:

The measure of ADC\angle ADC in quadrilateral ABCDABCD is 6565^\circ.

The correct answer is: 65°
