The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the measure of angle B in trapezium ABCD, where angle A is 90 degrees and AB is parallel to CD. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Trapezium**: - We have a trapezium ABCD with angle A = 90 degrees and sides AB parallel to CD. 2. **Identifying Angles**: - Since AB is parallel to CD and angle A is 90 degrees, angle D must also be 90 degrees. This is because the sum of the interior angles on the same side of a transversal (in this case, line AD) is 180 degrees. Therefore, angle D = 90 degrees. 3. **Using the Sum of Angles in a Quadrilateral**: - The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees. Thus, we can write the equation: \[ \text{Angle A} + \text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} + \text{Angle D} = 360^\circ \] - Substituting the known values: \[ 90^\circ + \text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} + 90^\circ = 360^\circ \] 4. **Simplifying the Equation**: - Combine the known angles: \[ 180^\circ + \text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} = 360^\circ \] - Now, isolate the sum of angles B and C: \[ \text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} = 360^\circ - 180^\circ \] \[ \text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} = 180^\circ \] 5. **Finding Angle B**: - From the equation \(\text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} = 180^\circ\), we can express angle B in terms of angle C: \[ \text{Angle B} = 180^\circ - \text{Angle C} \] 6. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, angle B is given by: \[ \text{Angle B} = 180^\circ - \text{Angle C} \] ### Conclusion: The measure of angle B is \(180^\circ - \text{Angle C}\).
