Q10 of 40 Page 8

In a quadrilateral ABCD, A + C is two times B and D. If A = 140˚ and D = 60˚, the find B.

To Find: B

Given: A + C = 2(B and D), D = 60˚, and A = 140˚


Concept Used:


Sum of area of a quadrilateral = 360˚


Explanation:


A + B + C + D = 360˚


Now, putting, A + C = 2(B and D) we get,


A + C + 1/2 (A + C) = 360˚


Putting the value of A, we get,



420˚ + 3 C = 720˚


3C = 300˚


C = 100˚


Now,


A + C = 2(B + D)


140˚ + 100˚ = 2(B + 60˚)


2(B + 60˚) = 240˚


B + 60˚ = 120˚


B = 60˚


Hence, B = 60˚.
