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
