Question

given only the information in the image, what is the best description of quadrilateral clap? cl||pa m∠a = 87° m∠p = 63° isosceles trapezoid trapezoid not a trapezoid not enough information to decide

Explanation:

Step1: Recall trapezoid definition

A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides. Here $\overline{CL}\parallel\overline{PA}$.

Step2: Check isosceles - trapezoid condition

In an isosceles trapezoid, base - angles are equal. Since $m\angle A = 87^{\circ}$ and $m\angle P=63^{\circ}$, they are not equal, so it's not an isosceles trapezoid. Thus, it is a trapezoid.

Answer:

B. Trapezoid
