The interior angles of a quadrilateral are x 15... - JAMB Mathematics 2010 Question
The interior angles of a quadrilateral are (x + 15)o, (2x - 45)o and (x + 10)o. Find the value of the least interior angle.
A
112o
B
102o
C
82o
D
52o
correct option: d
(x + 15)o + (2x - 45)o + (x + 10)o = (2n - 4)90o
when n = 4
x + 15o + 2x - 45o + x - 30o + x + 10o = (2 x 4 - 4) 90o
5x - 50o = (8 - 4)90o
5x - 50o = 4 x 90o = 360o
5x = 360o + 50o
5x = 410o
x = \(\frac{410^o}{5}\)
= 82o
Hence, the value of the least interior angle is (x - 30o)
= (82 - 30)o
= 52o
when n = 4
x + 15o + 2x - 45o + x - 30o + x + 10o = (2 x 4 - 4) 90o
5x - 50o = (8 - 4)90o
5x - 50o = 4 x 90o = 360o
5x = 360o + 50o
5x = 410o
x = \(\frac{410^o}{5}\)
= 82o
Hence, the value of the least interior angle is (x - 30o)
= (82 - 30)o
= 52o
