The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angles A, B, C, and D of quadrilateral ABCD given that they are in the ratio 11:19:21:9. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Set Up the Ratios**: Let the angles A, B, C, and D be represented as: - A = 11x - B = 19x - C = 21x - D = 9x 2. **Sum of Angles in a Quadrilateral**: We know that the sum of the angles in any quadrilateral is 360 degrees. Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ A + B + C + D = 360 \] Substituting the expressions for A, B, C, and D: \[ 11x + 19x + 21x + 9x = 360 \] 3. **Combine Like Terms**: Combine the terms on the left side: \[ (11 + 19 + 21 + 9)x = 360 \] \[ 60x = 360 \] 4. **Solve for x**: Divide both sides by 60 to find the value of x: \[ x = \frac{360}{60} = 6 \] 5. **Calculate Each Angle**: Now substitute x back into the expressions for each angle: - A = 11x = 11 * 6 = 66 degrees - B = 19x = 19 * 6 = 114 degrees - C = 21x = 21 * 6 = 126 degrees - D = 9x = 9 * 6 = 54 degrees 6. **Conclusion**: The angles of quadrilateral ABCD are: - A = 66 degrees - B = 114 degrees - C = 126 degrees - D = 54 degrees
