The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning outlined in the video transcript. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Variables:** - Let the least angle of the quadrilateral be \( x \). - Since the angles are in arithmetic progression (AP), we can express the four angles as: - Least angle: \( x \) - Second angle: \( x + d \) - Third angle: \( x + 2d \) - Greatest angle: \( x + 3d \) - Here, \( d \) is the common difference. 2. **Use the Given Condition:** - According to the problem, the greatest angle is double the least angle: \[ x + 3d = 2x \] - Rearranging this gives: \[ 3d = 2x - x \implies 3d = x \implies d = \frac{x}{3} \] 3. **Sum of Angles in a Quadrilateral:** - The sum of the angles in a quadrilateral is \( 360^\circ \): \[ x + (x + d) + (x + 2d) + (x + 3d) = 360^\circ \] - Simplifying this, we get: \[ 4x + (0 + d + 2d + 3d) = 360^\circ \implies 4x + 6d = 360^\circ \] 4. **Substitute \( d \) in the Sum Equation:** - Substitute \( d = \frac{x}{3} \) into the equation: \[ 4x + 6\left(\frac{x}{3}\right) = 360^\circ \] - This simplifies to: \[ 4x + 2x = 360^\circ \implies 6x = 360^\circ \implies x = 60^\circ \] 5. **Convert to Radians:** - To express the least angle in radians, we convert \( 60^\circ \) to radians: \[ x = 60^\circ = \frac{\pi}{3} \text{ radians} \] ### Final Answer: The least angle in radians is \( \frac{\pi}{3} \).
