The isosceles trapezoid is part of an isosceles triangle with a 42 degree vertex what is the measure of an obtuse base angle of the trapezoid? the diagram is not drawn to scale me solve questions 5. and 6.

the measure of the obtuse base angle of the trepezoid is 111.

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has one vertex angle and two congruent base angles. Also, we know that the sum of all angles in a triangle must equal 180 degrees. So we can say that:

Vertex Angle + Base Angle + Base Angle = 180.

Vertex Angle + 2 x (Base Angle) = 180.

2 x (Base Angle) = 180 - Vertex Angle

2 x (Base Angle) = 180 - 42

2 x (Base Angle) = 138

Base Angle = 69

Also, we know that angles on one side of a straight line always add to 180 degrees.

So we can say that:

Base Angle + ? = 180

? = 180 - Base Angle

? = 180 - 69

? = 111

So, the measure of the obtuse base angle of the trepezoid is 111.

sorry can't

i googled though and something came up but it was in science langueage not common english sooo
