One angle of a non-regular quadrilateral is a right angle. The largest angle is 3 times the size of the smallest angle. The fourth angle is 25 degrees greater than the smallest. What is the measure, in degrees, of the largest angle?

One angle of a non-regular quadrilateral is a right angle. The largest angle is 3 times the size of the smallest angle. The fourth angle is 25 degrees greater than the smallest. What is the measure, in degrees, of the largest angle?     

 

Call the smallest angle "a"     

 

90 + a + 3a + (a + 25)  =  360     

               90 + 5a + 25  =  360     

                               5a  =  360 – 90 – 25     

                               5a  =  245     

                                 a  =  49     

                 Largest Angle  =  3a     

               Largest Angle  =  147     

 

check answer     

 

90 + 49 + (3•49) + (49+25)  =?  360     

            90 + 49 + 147 + 74  =?  360     

                                     360  =  360
