The correct Answer is:
To find the measure of the fourth angle in a quadrilateral where three angles are given as 75 degrees each, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the properties of a quadrilateral**: The sum of all interior angles in a quadrilateral is always 360 degrees. 2. **Identify the known angles**: We are given three angles of the quadrilateral: - Angle A = 75 degrees - Angle B = 75 degrees - Angle C = 75 degrees 3. **Calculate the sum of the known angles**: To find the sum of the three known angles: \[ \text{Sum of angles A, B, and C} = 75 + 75 + 75 = 225 \text{ degrees} \] 4. **Set up the equation for the fourth angle**: Let the fourth angle be denoted as Angle D. According to the property of quadrilaterals: \[ \text{Angle A} + \text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} + \text{Angle D} = 360 \text{ degrees} \] Substituting the known values: \[ 225 + \text{Angle D} = 360 \] 5. **Solve for the fourth angle**: To find Angle D, subtract the sum of the three angles from 360 degrees: \[ \text{Angle D} = 360 - 225 = 135 \text{ degrees} \] ### Conclusion: The measure of the fourth angle in the quadrilateral is **135 degrees**. ---
