The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angles of the quadrilateral given by the expressions \( r^\circ, (x - 10)^\circ, (x + 30)^\circ, \) and \( (2x)^\circ \) and determine which one is the smallest. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understand the Sum of Angles in a Quadrilateral**: The sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is \( 360^\circ \). 2. **Set Up the Equation**: We can express the sum of the angles as follows: \[ r + (x - 10) + (x + 30) + (2x) = 360 \] Here, we will assume \( r = x \) for simplicity, as the problem does not provide a specific value for \( r \). 3. **Combine Like Terms**: Combine the terms in the equation: \[ x + (x - 10) + (x + 30) + (2x) = 360 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5x + 20 = 360 \] 4. **Solve for \( x \)**: Subtract \( 20 \) from both sides: \[ 5x = 360 - 20 \] \[ 5x = 340 \] Now, divide by \( 5 \): \[ x = \frac{340}{5} = 68 \] 5. **Calculate Each Angle**: Now that we have \( x = 68 \), we can find each angle: - First angle: \( x = 68^\circ \) - Second angle: \( x - 10 = 68 - 10 = 58^\circ \) - Third angle: \( x + 30 = 68 + 30 = 98^\circ \) - Fourth angle: \( 2x = 2 \times 68 = 136^\circ \) 6. **List the Angles**: The angles are: - \( 68^\circ \) - \( 58^\circ \) - \( 98^\circ \) - \( 136^\circ \) 7. **Identify the Smallest Angle**: Among the calculated angles, the smallest angle is \( 58^\circ \). ### Final Answer: The smallest angle is \( 58^\circ \).
