Question
We know that the sum of the measures of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is 1800.
Therefore,
∠A + ∠C = 1800
4y + 20 - 4x = 180 - 4x + 4y = 160
x - y = - 40 (i)
Also,
∠B + ∠D = 1800
3y - 5 - 7x + 5 = 180 - 7x + 3y = 180 (ii)
Multiplying equation (1) by 3, we obtain:
3x - 3y = - 120 (iii)
Adding equations (2) and (3), we obtain:
- 7x + 3x = 180 - 120
- 4x = 60
x = -15
By using equation (i), we obtain x - y = - 40
-15 - y = - 40
y = -15 + 40 = 25
∠A = 4y + 200 = 4(25) + 200 = 1200
∠B = 3y - 5 = 3(25) -5 = 700
∠C = -4x = -4 (-15) = 600
