A quadrilateral has two right angles. The measure of the third angle is 73°. What is the measure of the fourth angle?
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
73?
@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
Yes, a right angle equals 90 degrees
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?
107?
360-90-90-73 = 360, 90+90+73+107
OK good - that is correct So did you know, before you asked this, that the sum of the angles in a quadrilateral was 360?
yes
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
