Suppose a kite has two congruent angles of 100°. Of the remaining angles, one is four times larger than the other. What is the measure of the largest angle in the kite?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The measure of the largest angle in the kite is 128 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The sum of the interior angles in any quadrilateral must be equal to 360 degrees

A kite is a quadrilateral

Let

A,B,C and D the measure of the interior angles

so

[tex]A+B+C+D=360^o[/tex]

we have that

[tex]A=B=100^o[/tex]

substitute

[tex]100^o+100^o+C+D=360^o[/tex]

[tex]C+D=160^o[/tex] ----> equation A

Remember that

one is four times larger than the other

so

[tex]C=4D[/tex] ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

[tex]4D+D=160[/tex]

solve for D

[tex]5D=160\\D=32^o[/tex]

Find the measure of angle C

[tex]C=4(32)=128^o[/tex]

therefore

The measure of the largest angle in the kite is 128 degrees
