the ratio of the angles of a quadrilateral is 1 isto 2 isto 3 isto 4 then the measure of the smallest angle
Answers
Answer:
Appropriate Question :-
- The ratio of the angles of a quadrilateral is 1 : 2 : 3 : 4, then find the measure of the smallest angle.
Given :-
- The ratio of the angles of a quadrilateral is 1 : 2 : 3 : 4.
To Find :-
- What is the measure of the smallest angle.
Solution :-
Let,
- First angle = x
- Second angle = 2x
- Third angle = 3x
- Fourth angle = 4x
As we know that :
★ Sum of all angles of interior angle of quadrilateral = 360° ★
According to the question by using the formula we get,
↦ x + 2x + 3x + 4x = 360°
↦ 3x + 7x = 360°
↦ 10x = 360°
↦ x = 360°/10
➠ x = 36°
Hence, the required angles of a quadrilateral are :
✪ First angle of a quadrilateral :
⇒ x
➦ 36°
✪ Second angle of a quadrilateral :
⇒ 2x
⇒ 2(36°)
⇒ 2 × 36°
➦ 72°
✪ Third angle of a quadrilateral :
⇒ 3x
⇒ 3(36°)
⇒ 3 × 36°
➦ 108°
✪ Fourth angle of a quadrilateral :
⇒ 4x
⇒ 4(36°)
⇒ 4 × 36°
➦ 144°
Hence, the measure of the all angles of a quadrilateral is 36°, 72°, 108° and 144° respectively.
∴ The measure of the smallest angle of a quadrilateral is 36°.
VERIFICATION :
↦ x + 2x + 3x + 4x = 360°
By putting x = 36° we get,
↦ x(36°) + 2(36°) + 3(36°) + 4(36°) = 360°
↦ 36° + 72° + 108° + 144° = 360°
➲ 360° = 360°
Hence, Verified.
