Q4 of 26 Page 51

Compute all angles of each of the figures below:

Let us name the vertices of quadrilateral


ADC + ADE = 180° (linear pair of angles at a vertex)


ADC + 80° = 180°


ADC = 180° - 80°


ADC = 100°


DCB + DCJ = 180° (linear pair of angles at a vertex)


DCB + 95° = 180°


DCB = 180° - 95°


DCB = 85°


Sum of the angles of 4-sided polygon


Sum of the angles of n-sided polygon = (n – 2) × 180°


S = (4 – 2) × 180°


S = 2 × 180°


S = 360°


In ABCD


A + B + C + D = 360°


A + 85° + 85° + 100° = 360°


270° + A = 360°


A = 360° - 270°


A = 90°


BAG + BAD = 180°


BAG + 90° = 180°


BAG = 180° - 90°


BAG = 90°


BAG = DAF (opposite angle at a vertex)


DAF = 90°


DAB = GAF (opposite angle at a vertex)


GAF = 90°
