ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral such that angle A = (4y+20)o ,angle B =(3y - 5)o , angle C= (-4x)o and angle D=(7x + 5)o .
Find the four angles
plz explain the answer also
Given: ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral with
∠A = (4y + 20)°, ∠B = (3y – 5)°, ∠C = (4x)°, ∠D = (7x + 5)°.
Now we know that opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
⇒ ∠A + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 4y + 20 + 4x = 180°
⇒ 4 (x + y) = 180° – 20 = 160
⇒ x + y = 40° ... (1)
and ∠B + ∠D = 180°
⇒ 3y – 5 + 7x + 5 = 180°
⇒ 7x + 3y = 180° ... (2)
from (1) and (2) we get
x = 15 and y = 25
Hence ∠A = (4 × 25 + 20)° = 120°
∠B = (3 × 25 – 5)° = 70°
∠C = (4 × 15)° = 60°
∠D = (7 × 15 + 5)° = 110°
