If ABCD is an Isosceles trapezoid, what is x?
- A.
164
- B.
41
- C.
45
- D.
160
Correct Answer
B. 41Explanation
An isosceles trapezoid has two parallel sides of equal length. In this case, if we label the parallel sides as AB and CD, and the non-parallel sides as AD and BC, then AD = BC. The angles opposite the parallel sides (angle A and angle D) are also equal. Since the question asks for the value of x, it is likely referring to the measure of angle A. Since the answer is 41, it can be inferred that angle A measures 41 degrees.Rate this question:

In the trapezoid below, what is the measure of angle A?
- A.
103°
- B.
77°
- C.
90°
- D.
180°
Correct Answer
A. 103°Explanation
The measure of angle A in the trapezoid is 103°. This can be determined by using the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a trapezoid is equal to 360°. Since the other three angles are given as 77°, 90°, and 180°, the sum of these angles is 347°. To find the measure of angle A, we subtract this sum from 360°, resulting in 13°. However, since angle A is adjacent to the 90° angle, they must add up to 180°. Therefore, angle A is equal to 180° - 77° = 103°.Rate this question:
-

In the trapezoid below, what is the measure of angle C?
- A.
103°
- B.
77°
- C.
90°
- D.
180°
Correct Answer
B. 77°Explanation
The measure of angle C in a trapezoid can be found by using the fact that the opposite angles in a trapezoid are supplementary. Since the given answer is 77°, we can conclude that angle C is the opposite angle to the given 103° angle. Therefore, angle C must be 77° in order for the opposite angles to be supplementary and add up to 180°.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 parallel sides are called bases. In this case, AD and BC are the bases. It is given that AD is 14 units long and BC is 7 + 2x units long. Since the bases of a trapezoid are parallel, their lengths must be equal. Therefore, we can set up the equation 14 = 7 + 2x and solve for x. Subtracting 7 from both sides gives 7 = 2x. Dividing both sides by 2 gives x = 3.5. Therefore, the value of x is 3.5.Rate this question:

The diagonals in all parallelograms bisect each other
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In a parallelogram, the diagonals are line segments that connect opposite vertices. Since opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent and parallel, the diagonals are also congruent. When the diagonals intersect, they divide each other into two equal parts, hence bisecting each other. This property holds true for all parallelograms, making the statement "The diagonals in all parallelograms bisect each other" correct.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 2x+10=90Explanation
To solve for x in the rhombus, we need to find the equation that represents the sum of the interior angles of the rhombus, which is 360 degrees. Since a rhombus has four equal angles, each angle measures 360/4 = 90 degrees. Therefore, the equation that represents the sum of the interior angles of the rhombus is 2x + 10 = 360. However, the given answer 2x + 10 = 90 is incorrect as it represents the equation for one angle of the rhombus, not the sum of all angles.Rate this question:
