Math Problem Statement

Find the of value x

Solution

Let's analyze the new image to find the value of xx.

Description and Analysis:

The image depicts a quadrilateral with the following angles labeled:

  • One angle is xx^\circ (the value we need to find).
  • Another angle is 5050^\circ.
  • There is a right angle (9090^\circ).
  • The fourth angle is 120120^\circ.

Solution:

The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is always 360360^\circ. We can set up the equation for the sum of the angles in this quadrilateral.

  1. Sum of the angles: x+50+90+120=360x^\circ + 50^\circ + 90^\circ + 120^\circ = 360^\circ
  2. Combine the known angles: x+260=360x^\circ + 260^\circ = 360^\circ
  3. Solving for xx: x=360260=100x^\circ = 360^\circ - 260^\circ = 100^\circ

Thus, the value of xx is 100100^\circ.

Follow-up Questions:

  1. How would the calculation change if this were a pentagon instead of a quadrilateral?
  2. Why is the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral always 360360^\circ?
  3. Can the sum of the angles in a quadrilateral ever be different from 360360^\circ?
  4. How would you verify your answer using a protractor?
  5. What are the properties of special types of quadrilaterals like rectangles and squares regarding their angles?

Tip:

When solving for unknown angles in polygons, always start by recalling the sum of the interior angles for that shape. For a quadrilateral, it's 360360^\circ, which is fundamental to solving for unknown angles.
