Example Question #1 : How To Find An Angle In Other Quadrilaterals
Three of the interior angles of a quadrilateral measure , , and . What is the measure of the fourth interior angle?
This quadrilateral cannot exist.
The measures of the angles of a quadrilateral have sum . If is the measure of the unknown angle, then:
The angle measures .
Example Question #1 : Quadrilaterals
The angles of a quadrilateral measure . Evaluate .
The sum of the degree measures of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360, so we can set up and solve for in the equation:
Example Question #2 : Quadrilaterals
The four angles of a quadrilateral have the following value: 79 degrees, 100 degrees, 50 degrees, and degrees. What is the value of ?
Given that there are 360 degrees when all the angles of a quadrilateral are added toghether, this problem can be solved with the following equation:
Example Question #3 : Quadrilaterals
In a quadrilateral, the angles have the following values:
.
What is the value of ?
Given that there are 360 degrees when the angles of a quadrilateral are added together, it follows that:
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Length Of The Side Of Other Quadrilaterals
The perimeter of a quadrilateral is 86. The four sides measure
.
What is the value of ?
Given that the perimeter is 86, the sides of the quadrilateral will all add up to this amount.
The first step is the add together all the integers.
Next, we subtract 70 from each side.
We reduce the left side of the equation:
Now, we divide each side by 4. This leaves:
