If ∠A, ∠B, ∠C and ∠D of a quadrilateral ABCD taken in order, are in the ratio 3 : 7 : 6 : 4

Question:

If A, ∠B, ∠C and ∠D of a quadrilateral ABCD taken in order, are in the ratio 3 : 7 : 6 : 4 then ABCD is a
(a) rhombus
(b) kite
(c) trapezium
(d) parallelogram

 

Solution:

(c) Trapezium

Explanation:

Let the angles be (3x), (7x), (6x) and (4x)​.
Then 3x + 7x + 6x + 4x = 360o
∴ x = 18o
​Thus, the angles are 3 ⨯18o = 54o, ​7 ⨯ 18o = 126o, ​6 ⨯ 18o = 108o and ​4 ⨯18o = 72o.
But 54o + 126o = 180o and 72o + 108o  = 180o
∴ ABCD is a trapezium.
