Problem 437

AMC 12 late, AIME early
Geometry Difficulty 4.8 Find the answer

Two of the angles of a trapezoid are 60∘60^{\circ} and 130∘130^{\circ}. What can be said about its other angles?

A number or a short expression. Fractions can be typed as 3/2, and spacing doesn't matter.

Official solution

Δ\Delta The angles at the lateral side of the trapezoid add up to 180∘180^{\circ} (as interior alternate angles). Therefore, there are also angles 180∘−60∘=120∘180^{\circ}-60^{\circ}=120^{\circ} and 180∘−130∘=50∘180^{\circ}-130^{\circ}=50^{\circ} in the trapezoid. Thus, all four angles have been found. ◃\triangleleft
