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."
