The correct Answer is:
To find the angles of a quadrilateral that are in arithmetic progression (A.P.) with a common difference of \(20^\circ\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the properties of a quadrilateral The sum of all the angles in a quadrilateral is \(360^\circ\). ### Step 2: Define the angles in terms of a variable Let the first angle be \(x\). Since the angles are in A.P. with a common difference of \(20^\circ\), we can express the angles as: - First angle: \(x\) - Second angle: \(x + 20\) - Third angle: \(x + 40\) - Fourth angle: \(x + 60\) ### Step 3: Set up the equation for the sum of angles According to the property of quadrilaterals, we can write the equation: \[ x + (x + 20) + (x + 40) + (x + 60) = 360 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation Combine like terms: \[ x + x + 20 + x + 40 + x + 60 = 360 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4x + 120 = 360 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(x\) Now, isolate \(x\) by subtracting \(120\) from both sides: \[ 4x = 360 - 120 \] \[ 4x = 240 \] Now, divide both sides by \(4\): \[ x = 60 \] ### Step 6: Find the angles Now that we have \(x\), we can find the four angles: - First angle: \(x = 60^\circ\) - Second angle: \(x + 20 = 60 + 20 = 80^\circ\) - Third angle: \(x + 40 = 60 + 40 = 100^\circ\) - Fourth angle: \(x + 60 = 60 + 60 = 120^\circ\) ### Conclusion The angles of the quadrilateral are: - \(60^\circ\) - \(80^\circ\) - \(100^\circ\) - \(120^\circ\)
