Question
Given : In quadrilateral ABCD ; ∠C = 64°, ∠D = ∠C – 8° ; ∠A = 5(a+2)° and ∠B = 2(2a+7)°.
Calculate ∠A.
Solution
∵ ∠C = 64° (Given)
∴ ∠D = ∠C – 8° = 64°- 8° = 56°
∠A = 5(a+2)°
∠B = 2(2a+7)°
Now ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
5(a+2)° + 2(2a+7)° + 64° + 56° = 360°
5a + 10 + 4a + 14° + 64° + 56° = 360°
9a + 144° = 360°
9a = 360° – 144°
9a = 216°
a = 24°
∴ ∠A = 5 (a + 2) = 5(24+2) = 130°
