3. Prove that the sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
Solution:
In the quadrilateral PQRS,
- ∠PQR, ∠QRS, ∠RSP, and ∠SPQ are the internal angles.
- PR is a diagonal
- PR divides the quadrilateral into two triangles, ∆PQR and ∆PSR
We know that the sum of internal angles of a quadrilateral is 360°, that is, ∠PQR + ∠QRS + ∠RSP + ∠SPQ = 360°.
let’s prove that the sum of all the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. Now consider triangle PSR,
∠S + ∠SPR + ∠SRP = 180° (Sum of angles in a triangle)
Now consider triangle PQR,
∠Q + ∠QPR + ∠QRP = 180° (Sum of angles in a triangle)
On adding both the equations obtained above we have,
(∠S + ∠SPR + ∠SRP) + (∠Q + ∠QPR + ∠QRP) = 180° + 180°
∠S + (∠SPR + ∠QPR) + (∠QRP + ∠SRP) + ∠Q = 360°
We see that (∠SPR + ∠QPR) = ∠SPQ and (∠QRP + ∠SRP) = ∠QRS.
Replacing them we have, ∠S + ∠SPQ + ∠QRS + ∠Q = 360°
That is, ∠S + ∠P + ∠R + ∠Q = 360°.
Or, the sum of angles of a quadrilateral is 360°. This is the angle sum property of quadrilaterals.
4. The three angles of a quadrilateral are 74°, 56°, and 106°. Find the measure fourth angle?
Solution:
Given that the angles of a quadrilateral are 74°, 56°, and 106°.
The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
The quadrilateral consists of four angles.
Let the fourth angle is x.
x + 74° + 56° + 106° = 360°
x = 360° – 74° – 56° – 106°
x = 124°
The fourth angle is 124°.
5. The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 2 : 4 : 6 : 8. Find the measure of each of these angles?
Solution:
Given that the angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 2 : 4 : 6 : 8.
Let the common ratio is x.
2x + 4x + 6x + 8x = 360°
20x = 360°
Divide the above equation by 20 on both sides.
20x/20 = 360°/20
x = 18°
The angle of quadrilaterals are
2x = 2 . 18° = 36°
4x = 4 . 18° = 72°
6x = 6 . 18° = 108°
8x = 8 . 18° = 144°
The measure of each of these angles is 36°, 72°, 108°, 144°.
6. A quadrilateral has three acute angles, each measuring 70°. Find the measure of the fourth angle?
Solution:
Given that a quadrilateral has three acute angles, each measuring 70°.
Sum of four angles in any Quadrilateral =360°
Three angles each =70°
70° + 70° + 70° + fourth angle =360°
Fourth angle =360° – 210°
= 150°
Therefore, the fourth angle is 150°.
7. Three angles of a quadrilateral are equal and the measure of the fourth angle is 90°. Find the measure of each of the equal angles?
Solution:
Given that three angles of a quadrilateral are equal and the measure of the fourth angle is 90°.
Let each unknown angle is x. The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral are equal to 360°
x + x + x + 90° = 360°
3x + 90° = 360°
3x = 360° – 90°
3x = 270°
Divide the above equation by 3 on both sides.
3x/3 = 270°/3
x = 90°
The three angles are 90°, 90°, and 90°.
8. Two angles of a quadrilateral measure 65° and 55° respectively. The other two angles equal. Find the measure of each of these equal angles?
Solution:
Given that two angles of a quadrilateral measure 65° and 55° respectively. The other two angles equal.
The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is equal to 360 degrees.
Let the other two angles be x.
So, x + x + 65° + 55° = 360°
2x + 120° = 360°
2x = 360 – 120° = 240°
x = 240°/2
x = 120 degrees
Hence, the Other two angles are 120 degrees each.
9. Two angles of a quadrilateral measure 45° and 75° respectively. The other two angles equal. Find the measure of each of these equal angles?
Solution:
Given that two angles of a quadrilateral measure 45° and 75° respectively. The other two angles equal.
The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is equal to 360 degrees.
Let the other two angles be x.
So, x + x + 45° + 75° = 360°
2x + 120° = 360°
2x = 360 – 120° = 240°
x = 240°/2
x = 120 degrees
Hence, the Other two angles are 120 degrees each.
