The correct Answer is:
To find the measure of the fourth angle in a quadrilateral when three angles are given, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Sum of Angles in a Quadrilateral**: The sum of all interior angles in a quadrilateral is always 360 degrees. 2. **Identify the Given Angles**: The angles provided are: - First angle = 75 degrees - Second angle = 90 degrees - Third angle = 75 degrees 3. **Let the Fourth Angle be x**: We can denote the fourth angle as \( x \). 4. **Set Up the Equation**: According to the property of quadrilaterals, we can write the equation: \[ 75 + 90 + 75 + x = 360 \] 5. **Calculate the Sum of the Given Angles**: First, we need to add the three angles: \[ 75 + 90 + 75 = 240 \] 6. **Substitute the Sum Back into the Equation**: Now, substitute the sum back into the equation: \[ 240 + x = 360 \] 7. **Solve for x**: To find \( x \), subtract 240 from both sides: \[ x = 360 - 240 \] \[ x = 120 \] 8. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the measure of the fourth angle is \( 120 \) degrees. ### Final Answer: The fourth angle is \( 120^\circ \). ---
