Question

In a trapezium ABCD, side AB is parallel to side DC. If ∠A = 78° and ∠C = 120. find angles B and D.

✓

Answer

∵ AB || DC and BC is transversal
∴∠B and ∠C, ∠A and ∠D are Cointerior angles with their sum = 180°
i.e. ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠B + 120° = 180°
⇒ ∠B = 180° – 120°
⇒ ∠B = 60°
Also ∠A + ∠D = 180°
⇒ 78° + ∠D = 180°
⇒ ∠D = 180° – 78°
∠D = 102°
