The correct Answer is:
To find the measure of the largest angle of a quadrilateral with interior angles in the ratio of 3:4:5:6, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the angles in terms of a variable Let the angles of the quadrilateral be represented as: - First angle = \(3x\) - Second angle = \(4x\) - Third angle = \(5x\) - Fourth angle = \(6x\) ### Step 2: Set up the equation for the sum of the angles We know that the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is \(360^\circ\). Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ 3x + 4x + 5x + 6x = 360^\circ \] ### Step 3: Combine like terms Combine the terms on the left side: \[ (3 + 4 + 5 + 6)x = 360^\circ \] This simplifies to: \[ 18x = 360^\circ \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(x\) To find \(x\), divide both sides of the equation by 18: \[ x = \frac{360^\circ}{18} = 20^\circ \] ### Step 5: Calculate each angle Now that we have \(x\), we can find the measures of each angle: - First angle = \(3x = 3 \times 20^\circ = 60^\circ\) - Second angle = \(4x = 4 \times 20^\circ = 80^\circ\) - Third angle = \(5x = 5 \times 20^\circ = 100^\circ\) - Fourth angle = \(6x = 6 \times 20^\circ = 120^\circ\) ### Step 6: Identify the largest angle From the calculated angles, we can see: - \(60^\circ\) - \(80^\circ\) - \(100^\circ\) - \(120^\circ\) The largest angle is \(120^\circ\). ### Final Answer The measure of the largest angle of the quadrilateral is \(120^\circ\). ---
