To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. By definition, you can calculate an oodd number by using the following expression:

2n+1
2. The problem says the measures of the interior angles of convex quadrilateral are four consecutive odd numbers. By definition, the sum of the interior angles of a convex quadrilateral is
360 degrees.
3. Therefore, you have:

(2n+1)+(2n+3)+(2n+5)+(2n+7)=360
4. Now, solve for n:

8n+16=360 \\ n=43
5. The measure of the largest angle is:

=2n+7 \\ =2(43)+7 \\ =93 degrees
The answer is:
93 degrees
