Question
In trapezoid SKEW, the parallel sides are _______________.

- EK and WS
- WE and SW
- EW and SK
- SK and KE
Hint:
Two lines are parallel if and only if the consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
The correct answer is: EW and SK

The angles ∠WSK and ∠EWS are supplementary.
∠WSK + ∠EWS = 180
(If the consecutive interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel.)
So, EW∥SK
Thus, in trapezoid SKEW, the parallel sides are EW and SK.
