\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the measures of the angles of a trapezoid is 360 degrees.

\n" ); document.write( "If the trapezoid is ABCD with bases BC and AD, then the sum of the measures of angles A and B is 180 degrees, and the sum of the measures of angles C and D is 180 degrees.

\n" ); document.write( "There are three cases for the problem....

\n" ); document.write( "(1) Angles A and B are 3x and 5x; that makes the other two angles 7x and x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"7x%2Bx+=+8x+=+180\" --> x = 22.5; the fourth angle is 22.5 degrees.

\n" ); document.write( "(2) Angles A and B are 3x and 7x; that makes the other two angles 5x and 5x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x%2B5x+=+10x+=+180\" --> x = 18; the fourth angle is 5x = 90 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "(3) Angles A and B are 5x and 7x; that makes the other two angles 3x and 9x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B9x+=+12x+=+180\" --> x = 15; the fourth angle is 9x = 135 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "
