The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationships between the angles We know that in quadrilateral ABCD, side AB is parallel to side DC. Therefore, angles A and D are co-interior angles, and angles B and C are also co-interior angles. This gives us the following equations: - \( \angle A + \angle D = 180^\circ \) - \( \angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ \) ### Step 2: Set up the ratios for angles A and D We are given that the ratio of angle A to angle D is 1:2. We can express this as: - Let \( \angle A = x \) - Then \( \angle D = 2x \) ### Step 3: Substitute into the equation for angles A and D Using the equation from Step 1: \[ \angle A + \angle D = 180^\circ \] Substituting the expressions for angles A and D: \[ x + 2x = 180^\circ \] This simplifies to: \[ 3x = 180^\circ \] ### Step 4: Solve for angle A Now, divide both sides by 3: \[ x = \frac{180^\circ}{3} = 60^\circ \] Thus: - \( \angle A = 60^\circ \) - \( \angle D = 2x = 2 \times 60^\circ = 120^\circ \) ### Step 5: Set up the ratios for angles B and C Next, we are given that the ratio of angle C to angle B is 4:5. We can express this as: - Let \( \angle C = 4y \) - Then \( \angle B = 5y \) ### Step 6: Substitute into the equation for angles B and C Using the equation from Step 1: \[ \angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ \] Substituting the expressions for angles B and C: \[ 5y + 4y = 180^\circ \] This simplifies to: \[ 9y = 180^\circ \] ### Step 7: Solve for angle B Now, divide both sides by 9: \[ y = \frac{180^\circ}{9} = 20^\circ \] Thus: - \( \angle B = 5y = 5 \times 20^\circ = 100^\circ \) - \( \angle C = 4y = 4 \times 20^\circ = 80^\circ \) ### Step 8: Summarize the angles Now we have calculated all the angles: - \( \angle A = 60^\circ \) - \( \angle B = 100^\circ \) - \( \angle C = 80^\circ \) - \( \angle D = 120^\circ \) ### Step 9: Identify the type of quadrilateral Since AB is parallel to DC and the other sides are not parallel, quadrilateral ABCD is a **trapezium**. ### Final Answer (i) The angles of quadrilateral ABCD are: - \( \angle A = 60^\circ \) - \( \angle B = 100^\circ \) - \( \angle C = 80^\circ \) - \( \angle D = 120^\circ \) (ii) Quadrilateral ABCD is a **trapezium**.
