The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 5 : 8. Find the measure of each angle.
Answers
Answer:
If 2:3:5:8 is the ratio of angles of a quadrilateral, then its angles are 40°, 60°, 100°and 160°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The ratio of angles of the quadrilateral = 2:3:5:8
Let M, N, O, and P be the angles of the quadrilateral
Then if M is 2x, N is 3x, O is 5x and P is 8x
In a quadrilateral, sum of all angles is 360°
So M+N+O+P = 360
That is, 2x+3x+5x+8x= 360
18x = 360
x =360/18 = 20
Therefore
Angle M = 2x = 2*20 = 40°
Angle N = 3x = 3*20 = 60°
Angle O= 5x = 5*20 = 100°
Angle P = 8x = 8*20 = 160°
Therefore the angles of the quadrilateral are 40°,60°, 100° and 160°
In context to questions asked,
We have to determine the value of the angles of quardilateral
As we know that,
Sum of all interior angles of quardilateral is 360 degree
As per questions,
Let the angles of triangle is 2x, 3x, 5x and 8x.
So,
So, value of angles will be 40 degree, 60 degree, 100 degree and 160 degree respectively.
