A quadrilateral has two right angles. The measure of the third angle is 73°. What is the measure of the fourth angle?

OpenStudy (mrnood):

the sum of the 4 angles inside a quadrilateral is 360 deg it is simple to get the fourth angle since you have the other 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

73?

OpenStudy (mrnood):

@emmalove10gymnast do oyu know how many degrees in a right angle? If so you can answer this question If not then go back to oyu r book or class and find out - THEN this question will be easy for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, a right angle equals 90 degrees

OpenStudy (mrnood):

Good So you are told in the question that in the quadrilateral ther are 2 right angles and an angle of 73 deg There are 4 angles in a quadrilateral and I told oyu that the 4 angles add up to 360 deg So there is 1 angle you don't know - let's call it x deg so 2 right angles + 73 deg + x deg = 360 What is x deg?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

107?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360-90-90-73 = 360, 90+90+73+107

OpenStudy (mrnood):

OK good - that is correct So did you know, before you asked this, that the sum of the angles in a quadrilateral was 360?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (mrnood):

So you knew the necessary fact, and you knew all the data and you di the sum for yourself sometimes oyu just need the confidence to DO IT Well done
