Problem

A trapezoid is given, such that . Let be the midpoint of . Find the angles of the trapezoid if .
Solution
By the conditions of the task it follows that the trapezoid is isosceles. Let be the midpoint of , and let . Then Therefore the quadrilateral is inscribed. Then, by the conditions we have that is isosceles, from where we get . Now, because of the fact that is inscribed, we have i.e. we get that the triangle is a right isosceles triangle. Let be the foot of the altitude from . Then so we get that . Now we easily get and .
Final answer
∠A = 75°, ∠B = 75°, ∠C = 105°, ∠D = 105°
