Properties of Trapezoids (US) / Trapeziums (UK) Practice Problems Online

In the above diagram, quadrilateral \(ABCD\) is a trapezoid with \(\overline{AD} \parallel \overline{BC}.\) If \[\lvert{\triangle ABC}\rvert=60, \lvert{\triangle OCD}\rvert=20,\] what is the area of \(\triangle OBC ?\)

Note \(1\): The above diagram is not drawn to scale, and \(\lvert \triangle ABC \rvert\) denotes the area of \(\triangle ABC.\)
Note \(2\): In the US a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel lines is called a "trapezoid." Elsewhere, a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel lines is called a "trapezium."

In the above diagram, quadrilateral \(ABCD\) is a trapezoid with \(\overline{AB} \parallel \overline{CD}.\) If \(\alpha^\circ={73}^\circ\) and \(\gamma^\circ={135}^\circ,\) what is the value of \(\omega-\beta ?\)

Note: In the US a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel lines is called a "trapezoid." Elsewhere, a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel lines is called a "trapezium."

In the above diagram, quadrilateral \(ABCD\) is a trapezoid with \(\overline{AD} \parallel \overline{BC}.\) If \[\lvert{\overline{AO}}\rvert:\lvert{\overline{OC}}\rvert=1:3, \lvert{\triangle OBC}\rvert=54,\] what is the area of quadrilateral \(ABCD ?\)

Note \(1\): The above diagram is not drawn to scale, and \(\lvert{\triangle ABC}\rvert\) denotes the area of \(\triangle ABC.\)
Note \(2\): In the US a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel lines is called a "trapezoid." Elsewhere, a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel lines is called a "trapezium."

In the above diagram, quadrilateral \(ABCD\) is an isosceles trapezoid with \(\overline{AD} \parallel \overline{BC}.\) If \[l=7, \alpha^\circ={25}^\circ, \beta^\circ={115}^\circ,\] what is the value of \(x+y ?\)

Note \(1\): The above diagram is not drawn to scale.
Note \(2\): In the US a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel lines is called a "trapezoid." Elsewhere, a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel lines is called a "trapezium."

Trapezium \(ABCD\) has \(AB\) parallel to \(DC\). If \(\angle DBC = 23 ^\circ\) and \(\angle BCD = 59 ^\circ\), what is \(\angle ABD\) (in degrees)?
