The angles of a quadrilateral are 5x-30, 4x+60, 60-x and 3x+61.find the smallest of these angles
A
5x - 30
B
4x + 60
C
60 - x
D
3x + 61
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Sum of all 4 angles of a quadrilateral = 360^\circ
(5x-30) + (3x + 61) + (60-x) + (4x+ 60) = 360^\circ
11x + 151 = 360^\circ
11x = 360 - 151 = 209
x = 209/11 = 19^\circ
Each angles is :
5x - 30 = 65^\circ
4x+ 60 = 136^\circ
60 - x =41^\circ
3x + 61 = 118^\circ
Smallest of these angles is 41^\circ
