GIVEN
In a quadrilateral ABCD, ∠A +∠C=140, ∠A:∠C=1:3 and ∠B:∠D=5:6.
TO FIND
Find angles A, B, C and D.
SOLUTION
We can simply solve the above problem as follows;
We know that sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is equal to 360°
Now,
∠A : ∠C = 1:3
Let, ∠A = x
∠C = 3x
ATQ
∠A + ∠C = 140°
x + 3x = 140
4x = 140
x = 140/4 = 35
∠A = 35°
∠C = 3 × 35 = 105°
Now,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360
∠B + ∠D = 360 - 140
∠B + ∠D = 220°
5x + 6x = 220
11x = 220
x = 220/11 = 20
∠B = 5 × 20 = 100°
∠D = 6 × 20 = 120°
Hence, The answers are, ∠A = 35°, ∠B = 100°, ∠C = 105°, and ∠D = 120°
