You’re having two trap doors installed that are, appropriately, in the shape of trapezoids.

00:13

Assume the two trapezoids shown below are congruent. 

00:17

If m∠ C = 50°, then which of the following angles also measures 50 degrees?

00:23

And here are the potential answers...

00:27

Goofy question – it’s asking you mentally to cut out the first trapezoid…

00:31

…flip it around and paste it on top of the second one to figure out where the 50 degree

00:36

angle corresponds. Mentally, it should sorta look like this:

00:41

So the angle that corresponds as the 50 degree angle on the second trap is this one – angle x.

00:47

Answer B.
