The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Set up the equation for the sum of angles in a quadrilateral The angles of the quadrilateral are given as: 1. \(4x\) 2. \(5(x + 2)\) 3. \(7x - 20\) 4. \(6(x + 3)\) According to the property of quadrilaterals, the sum of the angles is \(360^\circ\). Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 4x + 5(x + 2) + (7x - 20) + 6(x + 3) = 360 \] ### Step 2: Expand and simplify the equation Now, we will expand the terms in the equation: \[ 4x + 5x + 10 + 7x - 20 + 6x + 18 = 360 \] Combine like terms: - Combine the \(x\) terms: \(4x + 5x + 7x + 6x = 22x\) - Combine the constant terms: \(10 - 20 + 18 = 8\) So, the equation simplifies to: \[ 22x + 8 = 360 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \(x\) Next, we will isolate \(x\): \[ 22x = 360 - 8 \] \[ 22x = 352 \] \[ x = \frac{352}{22} \] Now, simplify: \[ x = 16 \] ### Step 4: Find each angle Now that we have \(x\), we can find each angle: 1. First angle: \[ 4x = 4 \times 16 = 64^\circ \] 2. Second angle: \[ 5(x + 2) = 5(16 + 2) = 5 \times 18 = 90^\circ \] 3. Third angle: \[ 7x - 20 = 7 \times 16 - 20 = 112 - 20 = 92^\circ \] 4. Fourth angle: \[ 6(x + 3) = 6(16 + 3) = 6 \times 19 = 114^\circ \] ### Summary of Results - The value of \(x\) is \(16\). - The angles of the quadrilateral are: - \(64^\circ\) - \(90^\circ\) - \(92^\circ\) - \(114^\circ\)
