The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the measure of the two equal angles in the quadrilateral given that two angles measure 85 degrees and 75 degrees. ### 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 have two angles given: - Angle 1 = 85 degrees - Angle 2 = 75 degrees 3. **Calculate the sum of the known angles**: \[ \text{Sum of known angles} = 85 + 75 = 160 \text{ degrees} \] 4. **Determine the sum of the unknown angles**: Since the total sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees, we can find the sum of the two equal angles (let's call them \( x \)): \[ \text{Sum of unknown angles} = 360 - 160 = 200 \text{ degrees} \] 5. **Set up the equation for the equal angles**: Since both unknown angles are equal, we can express this as: \[ 2x = 200 \] 6. **Solve for \( x \)**: \[ x = \frac{200}{2} = 100 \text{ degrees} \] 7. **Conclusion**: Each of the equal angles measures 100 degrees. ### Final Answer: The measure of each of the equal angles is **100 degrees**.
