find the measures of the four angles of a quadrilateral if they are in the ratio 2:4:6:8.
Answers
Answer:
The ratio of the angles is 2:3:4:6
To find: The measures of each angle.
Observe that 2+3+4+6=15.
Thus 15 parts accounts for 360
∘
Hence, 15 parts = 360
∘
2 parts = ( 360
∘
/15)× 2 = 48
∘
3 parts = (360
∘
/15)× 3 = 72
∘
4 parts = ( 360
∘
/15)× 4 = 96
∘
6 parts = ( 360
∘
/15)× 6 = 144
∘
Thus the angles are 48

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Ratio of angles of quadrilateral are 2 : 4 : 6 : 8
To Find:
- What is the measure of each angle?
Solution: Let x be the common in given ratios. Therefore
➟ First angle = 2x
➟ Second angle = 4x
➟ Third angle = 6x
➟ Fourth angle = 8x
As we know that
★ Sum of all angles of Quadrilateral = 360° ★
A/q
1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th = 360°
2x + 4x + 6x + 8x = 360
20x = 360
x = 360/20
x = 18°
So, angles are
➛ First = 2x = 2(18) = 36°
➛ Second = 4x = 4(18) = 72°
➛ Third = 6x = 6(18) = 108°
➛ Fourth = 8x = 8(18) = 144°

★ Verification ★
➧ 36° + 72° + 108° + 144° = 360°
➧ 108° + 252° = 360°
➧ 360° = 360°
