    Answer: D) The angle measures of trapezoid PQRS are equal to the corresponding angle measures of trapezoid P'Q'R'S'

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since, By the definition of rotation about origin, When a figure is rotate 180° about the origin then we get a congruent figure to that figure.

    Thus, when PQRS is rotated 180° about the origin to form trapezoid P'Q'R'S'.

    Then trapezoid P'Q'R'S' is congruent to trapezoid PQRS.

    ⇒ By the definition of congruence,

    The corresponding sides and angle of trapezoid P'Q'R'S' are congruent to that of trapezoid PQRS.

    ⇒ ∠P' ≅ ∠P, ∠Q' ≅ ∠Q, ∠R' ≅ ∠R and ∠S' ≅ ∠S

    ⇒ Option D) is correct.

    Note: P'Q'R'S' is a trapezoid ⇒ Sum of the angle measures of trapezoid P'Q'R'S' is also 180°

    Option A) is incorrect.

    Since, trapezoid P'Q'R'S' is congruent to trapezoid PQRS.

    ⇒ Option B) is incorrect.

    We know that if two shapes are congruent then their area must be equal.

    ⇒ Area of trapezoid P'Q'R'S' = Area of trapezoid PQRS

    Thus, Option C) is also incorrect.
