The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the measures of the two equal angles in a quadrilateral where two angles are given as \(70^\circ\) and \(90^\circ\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Sum of Angles in a Quadrilateral**: The sum of the internal angles of a quadrilateral is always \(360^\circ\). 2. **Identify Given Angles**: We are given: - Angle A = \(70^\circ\) - Angle B = \(90^\circ\) - Let the two equal angles be Angle C and Angle D, both equal to \(x\). 3. **Set Up the Equation**: According to the property of quadrilaterals, we can write the equation: \[ \text{Angle A} + \text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} + \text{Angle D} = 360^\circ \] Substituting the known values: \[ 70^\circ + 90^\circ + x + x = 360^\circ \] 4. **Combine Like Terms**: Combine the known angles: \[ 160^\circ + 2x = 360^\circ \] 5. **Isolate the Variable**: To find \(x\), first subtract \(160^\circ\) from both sides: \[ 2x = 360^\circ - 160^\circ \] \[ 2x = 200^\circ \] 6. **Solve for \(x\)**: Divide both sides by 2: \[ x = \frac{200^\circ}{2} = 100^\circ \] 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the measure of each of the equal angles (Angle C and Angle D) is \(100^\circ\). ### Final Answer: Each of the equal angles is \(100^\circ\). ---
