1. Problem Description

We are given a trapezoid ABCDABCD. We are given that mABC=(4x+11)m\angle ABC = (4x + 11)^\circ and mDAB=(2x+33)m\angle DAB = (2x + 33)^\circ. We need to find the value of xx such that the trapezoid ABCDABCD is isosceles.

2. Solution Steps

In an isosceles trapezoid, the base angles are equal. In trapezoid ABCDABCD, if ABAB and CDCD are the parallel sides, then DAB\angle DAB and ABC\angle ABC are adjacent angles on the same side of the transversal ABAB. The sum of these two angles is 180180^\circ.
Therefore, we have the equation:
mDAB+mABC=180m\angle DAB + m\angle ABC = 180^\circ
(2x+33)+(4x+11)=180(2x + 33) + (4x + 11) = 180
6x+44=1806x + 44 = 180
6x=180446x = 180 - 44
6x=1366x = 136
x=1366=683x = \frac{136}{6} = \frac{68}{3}
In an isosceles trapezoid, the base angles are equal. If ABCDABCD is an isosceles trapezoid, then the angles on the bases are equal.
So DAB=ABC\angle DAB = \angle ABC
2x+33=4x+112x + 33 = 4x + 11
22=2x22 = 2x
x=11x = 11
Also, if the non-parallel sides are the same, then the angles are equal. Therefore, DAB=CBA\angle DAB = \angle CBA or ADC=BCD\angle ADC = \angle BCD.
DAB+ADC=180\angle DAB + \angle ADC = 180
ABC+BCD=180\angle ABC + \angle BCD = 180
In an isosceles trapezoid ABCDABCD with bases ABAB and CDCD, we have DAB=ABC\angle DAB = \angle ABC. Thus,
2x+33=4x+112x + 33 = 4x + 11
22=2x22 = 2x
x=11x = 11
