1. Problem Description

We are given a diagram of a quadrilateral with two sides parallel to each other. The two parallel sides are also of equal length. We are given one exterior angle is 8484^{\circ} and need to find the value of angle kk.

2. Solution Steps

Since the figure has two parallel sides of equal length, it is an isosceles trapezoid. Therefore, the base angles are equal. The angle adjacent to the 8484^\circ angle is supplementary to it. This angle and kk are base angles. The sum of supplementary angles is 180180^\circ, therefore:
180=84+x180^\circ = 84^\circ + x
x=18084=96x = 180^\circ - 84^\circ = 96^\circ
So, one of the base angles is 9696^\circ. Since the trapezoid is isosceles, both base angles are equal. So, k=96k = 96^\circ.

3. Final Answer

96
