find x and y .......
Answers
Given :
ABCD is a quadrilateral .
AB is extended to a point D.
angle DAB = y°
angle BCD = x°
angle ADC = 120°
angle CBD = 100°
Required to find :
- Measurement of angle DAB ( y)
- Measurement of angle BCD (x)
Solution :
(please refer to the attachment carefully ).
It is given that In a quadrilateral ABCD , AB is extended to a point D
so , to find angle DAB we have to first find the measure of angle BCD.
hence,
2.(2nd part of required to find )
consider side AB which is extended to D.
when AB is extended to D it leads to the formation of the exterior angel named angle CBD = 100°
so, here we can find one angle using the exterior angle property.
hence ,
angle ABC + angle CBD = 180° ( Because they form a linear pair ).
angle ABC + 100° = 180°
angle ABC = 180° - 100°
angle ABC = 80°
therefore,
angle ABC = 80°
Now,
In quadrilateral ABCD ,
angle ABC + angle BCD = 180° ( because sum of two adjacent angles of a quadrilateral is supplementary ).
80° + angle BCD = 180°
angle BCD = 180° - 80°
angle BCD = 100°
Therefore,
measure of angle BCD = 100°
1. ( first part of required to find )
Now we have to find the value of angle DAB.
To find angle DAB we have to the property that is sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is 360°
so,
angle ABC + angle BCD + angle CDA + angle DAB = 360°
80° + 100° + 120° + angle DAB = 360°
300° + angle DAB = 360°
angle DAC = 360° - 300°
angle DAB = 60°
Therefore,
measure of angle DAB = 60°
measure of angle BCD = 100°
