Question

The measures of ∠1, ∠2, and ∠3 are 40%, 12.5%, and 25% of the sum of the angle measures of the quadrilateral. Find the value of x.

Answer 1

The value of x is 81

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is 360°

• The measure of ∠1 is 40% of the sum of the angle measures of the quadrilateral
• The measure of ∠2 is 12.5% of the sum of the angle measures of the quadrilateral
• The measure of ∠3 is 25% of the sum of the angle measures of the quadrilateral
• We need to find the value of x

∵ The figure have 4 sides

∴ The figure is a quadrilateral

∵ The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a

    quadrilateral is 360°

- Add the four angles and equate the sum by 360

∴ m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 + x = 360

∵ m∠1 = 40% of the sum of the angle measures of the quadrilateral

∴ m∠1 = 40% × 360 = $\frac{40}{100}$ × 360 = 144°

∵ m∠2 = 12.5% of the sum of the angle measures of the quadrilateral

∴ m∠2 = 12.5% × 360 = $\frac{12.5}{100}$ × 360 = 45°

∵ m∠3 = 25% of the sum of the angle measures of the quadrilateral

∴ m∠3 = 25% × 360 = $\frac{25}{100}$ × 360 = 90°

- Substitute these values in the equation above

∴ 144 + 45 + 90 + x = 360

- Add the like terms in the left hand side

∴ 279 + x = 360

- Subtract 279 from both sides

∴ x = 81°

The value of x is 81
