Answer:
Explanation:
If they all exist in proportion to one another (READ: ratio) then multiplying each of the angles by the same number (here, some unknown "x" value) will maintain the proportionality. Since all the angles of a quadrilateral have to add up to equal 360, then
2x + 4x + 5x + 7x = 360 and
18x = 360. Divide both sides by 18 to get that
x = 20. That means that
2x = 2(20) = 40 and
4x = 4(20) = 80 and
5x = 5(20) = 100 and
7x = 7(20) = 140. Adding all of those up:
40 + 80 + 100 + 140 = 360
