Math Problem Statement

Determine the value of the missing angle x in a quadrilateral where three angles are 84°, 100°, and 121°.

Solution

The image shows a quadrilateral with four angles. Three of the angles are given:

  • 8484^\circ
  • 100100^\circ
  • 121121^\circ

The fourth angle is xx^\circ, and we need to determine its value.

In any quadrilateral, the sum of all interior angles is always 360360^\circ.

Thus, we can use the equation:

84+100+121+x=36084^\circ + 100^\circ + 121^\circ + x^\circ = 360^\circ

Let's solve for xx.

x=360(84+100+121)x^\circ = 360^\circ - (84^\circ + 100^\circ + 121^\circ)

x=360305=55x^\circ = 360^\circ - 305^\circ = 55^\circ

So, x=55x = 55^\circ.
