Correct Answer
B. 77°Explanation
The measure of angle C in a trapezoid can be determined by recognizing that the sum of the interior angles of a trapezoid is always equal to 360 degrees. Since the other three angles given (103°, 90°, and 180°) add up to 373°, which is greater than 360°, they cannot be the measure of angle C. Therefore, the correct answer is 77° as it is the only remaining option.Rate this question:

In the trapezoid below, what is x if AD=14 and BC=7+2x?
- A.
7
- B.
3.5
- C.
14
- D.
10.5
Correct Answer
B. 3.5Explanation
In a trapezoid, the bases are parallel. In this case, AD is one base and BC is the other base. It is given that AD is 14 units long. It is also given that BC is equal to 7 plus 2 times x. To find the value of x, we need to set up an equation. BC = 7 + 2x. Since AD and BC are parallel, they must be equal in length. Therefore, 14 = 7 + 2x. Solving this equation, we find that x = 3.5. Hence, the correct answer is 3.5.Rate this question:
