Question 252080: two congruent angles of an isosceles trapezoid have measures of 5x-17 and 2x+13 whats the value of x and the measures of each of the angles. Found 2 solutions by Earlsdon, nyc_function:Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The angles are congruent, so... Subtract 2x from both sides. Add 17 to both sides. Divide both sides by 3. and... Substitute x = 10. Simplify.
The measure of each angle is 33 degrees.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5x-17 + 2x+13 = 180
Can you solve for x now?
When you find x, plug into each given angle to find their measure.
