    This document contains solutions to 9 questions about properties of quadrilaterals. It states that a quadrilateral has 4 sides, 4 angles, 4 vertices where no 3 are collinear, and 2 diagonals. The sum of the angles of any quadrilateral is always 360 degrees. Various properties discussed include the number of adjacent and opposite sides and angles. Several questions involve finding unknown angle measures using the fact that the total angle sum is 360 degrees.

    Question 3:
    Solution:

    A
    Let ABCD be a quadrilateral.
    Join A and C.
    Now, we know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 o .
    For △ABC:  2 +  4 + B = 180 o ... (1)
    For △ADC: 1 + 3 + D = 180 o
    ... (2)
    Adding (1) and (2):
    1 +  2 + 3 +  4 + B + D = 360o
    or A + B + C + D = 360o
    Hence, the sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is 360o .
    L
    Question 4:
    Solution: Sum of all the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360o .
    Let the unknown angle be x°.
    76o + 54 o + 108o + x = 360o
    238o + x = 360o .
    X = 122o
    Q

    the fourth angle measures 122o .

    Question 5:
    Solution:
    Let the measures of the angles of the given quadrilateral be (3x)°, (5x)°, (7x)° and (9x)°.
    Sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is 360o .
    ∴3x+5x+7x+9x= 360o
    24x= 360o
    360o
    X=
    24

    x=15

    Angles measure:  3 15 = 45o


    o

     5 15
    o
    = 75o

     7 15
    o
    = 105o

     9 15
    o
    = 135o

    Question 6:
    Solution:
    Sum of the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360o .

    A
    If the unknown angle is x o , then:
    75 + 75 + 75 + x = 360o .
    X = 360o - 225o
    X = 135o
    the fourth angle measures 135o

    Question 7:
    Solution:
    Let the three angles measure x o each.
    L
    Sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is 360o

    ∴ x + x + x + 120 o = 360o
    3x + 120 o = 360o
    3x = 240o
    240 o
    X=
    3
    Q
    o
    x = 80

    each of the equal angles measure 80 o

    Question 8:
    Solution:
    Let the two unknown angles measure x o each.
    Sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360o

    ∴ 85o + 75o + x + x = 360o


    160 o + 2x = 360o
    2x = 360o - 160 o

    NOTES BY ~ QUANTA LEARNING ACADEMY (QLA)


    2x = 200o
    200 o
    X=
    2
    X = 100 o
    each of the equal angle measures 100 o .

    Question 9:
    Solution:
    Sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360o .
    ∴ A + B + 60o + 100 o = 360o
    A + B = 360o – 100 o – 60o = 200o

    A
    Or
    1
    A + B = 100 o ... (1)
    2
    Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°.
    In APB :
    1
    A + B + P = 180 o (because AP and PB are bisectors of A and B )
    2
    Using equation (1):
    100 o + P = 180 o
    L
    P = 80 o
    APB  80o
