Question -

The angles of a quadrilateral are in A.P., and the greatest angle is 120o. Express the angles in radians.



Answer -

Let the angles of quadrilateral be (a – 3d)°, (a – d) °, (a + d) ° and (a + 3d) °.

We know that, thesum of angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.

a – 3d + a – d + a +d + a + 3d = 360°

4a = 360°

a = 360/4

= 90°

Given:

The greatest angle =120°

a + 3d = 120°

90° + 3d = 120°

3d = 120° – 90°

3d = 30°

d = 30°/3

= 10o


The angles are:

(a – 3d) ° = 90° –30° = 60°

(a – d) ° = 90° –10° = 80°

(a + d) ° = 90° +10° = 100°

(a + 3d) ° = 120°

Angles of quadrilateral in radians:

(60 × π/180) rad =π/3

(80 × π/180) rad = 4π/9

(100 × π/180) rad =5π/9

(120 × π/180) rad = 2π/3
