    MHB Can Thales' Theorem Help Me Solve My Trapezoid Equation?

    Oh nooo I can't believe it was that simple, I have been trying to calculate it as a acute and obtuse angle (hence my issues). The time when you are doing maths and you start to bash your head against a brick wall, only to realize that the answer was right in front of you lol. Thank you...

    MHB Can Thales' Theorem Help Me Solve My Trapezoid Equation?

    [QUOTE Since $\overline{AD}\parallel\overline{BC}$, and the trapezoid is cyclic, we know it must be isosceles. So we know $\angle A=60^{\circ}$, if $\measuredangle C=120^{\circ}$. I had changed the original degrees and didn't realize I had changed the triangles to equal sides. My triangles are...

    MHB Can Thales' Theorem Help Me Solve My Trapezoid Equation?

    Sorry don't have an equation, my wording mistake, just trying to calculate the angle of E and F. What I have worked out is the angles of A, B, C, and D. A=70 B=110 C=120 D=60. But have no idea how to calculate E and F. If I turn C and D into a right angle on the outside of the trapezoid I get...

    MHB Can Thales' Theorem Help Me Solve My Trapezoid Equation?

    I have the above equation to try and complete and I have no idea how to do it I have worked out all the angles for A, B, C, and D accept the ones within the diagonal line E and F. Any hints?
