the angles of a quadrilateral are (5x) , (3x+10) , (6x-20) and (x+25) . find (1)the value of x and (2)the measure of each of the angle of the quadrilateral.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of angles of a quadilateral is 360
5x+3x+10+6x-20+x+25=360
15x+15=360 360
15x=360-15=345 345
x=345/15 23
x=23
The angles are:
5x= 5*23=115 115
3x+10= (3*23)+10=79 79
6x-20=(6*23)-20+118 118
x+25=23+25=48 48
Gívéń :-
- Angles of a Quadrilateral
- 5x
- 3x + 10
- 6x - 20
- x + 25
Tó Fíńd :-
- Value of x
- The measure of each of the angle of the quadrilateral.
Solution :-
Angle addition postulate :-
- Sum of measures of all angles of a quadrilateral is 360°
Sum refers too addition, so we will add all the given value of the angles. Let's begin.
5x + 3x + 10 + 6x - 20 + x + 25 = 360
Bring all numbers and x together,
8x + 6x + x + 10 - 20 + 25 = 360
14x + x - 10 + 25 = 360
15x + 15 = 360
15x = 360 - 15
15x = 345
x =
Dividing LHS by 15,
x = 23
Value of x = 23
Substitute the value of x in the values of angles given in question.
- 5x = 5 × 23 = 115 °
- 3x + 10 = 3 × 23 + 10 = 69 + 10 = 79°
- 6x - 20 = 6 × 23 - 20 = 138 - 20 = 118°
- x + 25 = 23 + 25 = 48°
We found the value of x as well as all the angles. Let's verify the answer.
If we get the sum of all the values of the angles of quadrilateral equal to 360° then our answer is right.
Let's begin!
115 + 79 + 118 + 48 = 360
194 + 118 + 48 = 360
194 + 166 = 360
360 = 360
LHS = RHS.
Hence our answer is right.
