Hello There!

Here is your answer!

Question:

The angles of a quadrilateral have measures of 5x, 3x + 20, 4x + 5, and 5x -5. The measure of one of the angles is ?

solution:

The measures of each of the angles are 100°,80°,85° and 95° respectively...

Step-by-step Explanation:-

• As we know, Sum of all the angles of the quadrilateral measures 360° ..

  • So, we have to add the given angles to find the measures of each one...

→ 5x + ( 3x+ 20 ) + ( 4x + 5 ) + ( 5x - 5 ) = 360

→ 5x + 3x + 20 + 4x + 5 + 5x - 5 = 360

Taking like terms,

→ 5x + 3x + 4x + 5x + 20 + 5 - 5 = 360

→ 17x + 20 = 360

→ 17x = 360 - 20

→ 17x = 340

→ x = 340 / 17

→ x = 20

Now putting the values into places,

Angle 1 :- 5x = 5(20) = 100°

Angle 2 :- (3x+20) = 3(20) + 20 = 60 + 20 = 80°

Angle 3 :- (4x+5) = 4(20) + 5 = 80 + 5 = 85°

Angle 4 :- (5x-5) = 5(20) - 5 = 100 - 5 = 95°

Hence, The measure of each of the angles are 100° , 80° , 85° and 95° respectively...

Hope this helps you ◉‿◉
