Answer:
[tex]b = 74^o[/tex] --- acute base
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for the figure
Required
The acute base angle of the trapezoid
From the question, the isosceles triangle and the trapezoid share the same base.
Represent the base angle with b.
So:
[tex]b + b + 32^o = 180^o[/tex] --- angles in a triangle
[tex]2b = 180^o-32^o[/tex]
[tex]2b = 148^o[/tex]
Divide by 2
[tex]b = 74^o[/tex]
