Angles in Quadrilaterals Worksheets - Math Monks - Free Printable

To find the missing angles in these quadrilaterals, we use one main rule: The sum of all interior angles in any quadrilateral is always 360°.

Here is the step-by-step solution for each problem:

Problem 1
* Given angles: $154^\circ$, $26^\circ$, $154^\circ$
* Add them up: $154 + 26 + 154 = 334^\circ$
* Subtract from 360: $360 - 334 = 26$
* $x^\circ = 26^\circ$

Problem 2
* Given angles: $77^\circ$, $88^\circ$, $82^\circ$
* Add them up: $77 + 88 + 82 = 247^\circ$
* Subtract from 360: $360 - 247 = 113$
* $x^\circ = 113^\circ$

Problem 3
* Given angles: $38^\circ$, $54^\circ$, $148^\circ$
* Add them up: $38 + 54 + 148 = 240^\circ$
* Subtract from 360: $360 - 240 = 120$
* $x^\circ = 120^\circ$

Problem 4
* Given angles: $120^\circ$, $66^\circ$, $60^\circ$
* Add them up: $120 + 66 + 60 = 246^\circ$
* Subtract from 360: $360 - 246 = 114$
* $x^\circ = 114^\circ$

Problem 5
* Given angles: $150^\circ$, $66^\circ$, $100^\circ$
* Add them up: $150 + 66 + 100 = 316^\circ$
* Subtract from 360: $360 - 316 = 44$
* $x^\circ = 44^\circ$

Problem 6
* This shape has two square symbols in the corners. A square symbol means the angle is $90^\circ$.
* Given angles: $90^\circ$, $90^\circ$, $67^\circ$
* Add them up: $90 + 90 + 67 = 247^\circ$
* Subtract from 360: $360 - 247 = 113$
* $x^\circ = 113^\circ$

Problem 7
* First, find the inside angle next to the $346^\circ$ reflex angle. A full circle is $360^\circ$.
* Inside angle = $360 - 346 = 14^\circ$. Let's call this angle $z$. So, $z = 14^\circ$.
* The shape has one right-angle symbol ($90^\circ$).
* We have a parallelogram-like shape where opposite angles are equal, but let's just use the sum of 360 to be safe. Wait, looking closely at the markings:
* Top-left is $x^\circ$. Bottom-right inside is $14^\circ$.
* Top-right is $90^\circ$. Bottom-left is $y^\circ$.
* Actually, usually in these worksheets, if it looks like a parallelogram or rectangle, there might be properties involved. However, Problem 7 looks like a general quadrilateral with specific markings. Let's look closer.
* Ah, the top-right corner has a square symbol ($90^\circ$).
* The bottom-right exterior angle is $346^\circ$, so the interior angle is $360^\circ - 346^\circ = 14^\circ$.
* The shape appears to be a parallelogram based on the parallel-looking sides, but without explicit parallel markers, we should stick to the angle sum. However, there are only 3 knowns if we calculate the interior angle. We have two unknowns $x$ and $y$.
* Let's re-examine the image for Problem 7. It looks like a parallelogram. In a parallelogram, consecutive angles add to 180 and opposite angles are equal.
* If it is a parallelogram: Opposite angles are equal. So $x$ (top-left) would equal the bottom-right interior angle ($14^\circ$)? That seems visually wrong. $x$ is obtuse.
* Let's look at the other pair. $y$ (bottom-left) and top-right ($90^\circ$). If it were a rectangle, all would be 90. It's not.
* Let's assume standard quadrilateral rules first. Sum = 360.
* $x + y + 90 + 14 = 360 \Rightarrow x + y = 256$. We need another equation.
* Let's look at the visual cues again. The top and bottom sides look parallel. The left and right sides look parallel. It is drawn as a parallelogram.
* In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary (add to 180).
* Top-right is $90^\circ$. If consecutive angles add to 180, then Top-left ($x$) + Top-right ($90$) = 180? Then $x=90$. And Bottom-right ($14$) + Bottom-left ($y$) = 180? Then $y=166$.
* Let's check if $x=90, y=166, 90, 14$ sums to 360. $90+166+90+14 = 360$. Yes.
* BUT, if $x=90$ and top-right=90, then the left side is perpendicular to the top. If bottom-right interior is 14, the right side is very slanted. This would mean the left and right sides are NOT parallel. So it's not a parallelogram.
* Let's look really closely at Problem 7 again. Is it possible the $346^\circ$ refers to the reflex angle of the vertex, and the shape is just a general quad?
* Wait, look at the markings on Problem 7 again. There is a right angle mark at the top right. There is NO other marking indicating parallel lines.
* Is it possible $x$ and $y$ are related? Often in these problems, if it looks like an isosceles trapezoid or parallelogram, it is. But the angles $90$ and $14$ are wildly different.
* Let's reconsider the shape. It looks like a right trapezoid? No.
* Let's look at the provided solution space. It asks for $x^\circ$ and $y^\circ$.
* Is there a property I'm missing? Look at the vertices.
* Maybe the question implies it's a parallelogram? If it is a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.
* Angle opposite $x$ is the interior angle at bottom right ($14^\circ$). So $x = 14^\circ$? Visually $x$ is clearly obtuse (>90). So $x$ cannot be 14.
* Angle opposite $y$ is the top right ($90^\circ$). So $y = 90^\circ$?
* If $y=90$ and top-right=90, then the left and right sides are parallel vertical lines? No.
* Let's try consecutive angles sum to 180 (property of parallelograms/rhombuses/rectangles).
* If top and bottom are parallel: Top-Right ($90$) + Bottom-Right ($14$) = 104 $\neq$ 180. Not parallel.
* If left and right are parallel: Top-Left ($x$) + Top-Right ($90$) = 180 $\rightarrow x=90$. Bottom-Left ($y$) + Bottom-Right ($14$) = 180 $\rightarrow y=166$.
* Let's check the sum: $90 + 90 + 166 + 14 = 360$. This works mathematically. Does it fit the drawing?
* If $x=90$, the top-left corner is a right angle. The drawing shows $x$ as obtuse.
* If $y=166$, the bottom-left is very flat. The drawing shows $y$ as obtuse but not that flat.
* Let's look at the image again very carefully. Is it possible the text "346" is actually pointing to the interior angle? No, the arc is clearly outside (reflex).
* Is it possible the shape is a kite? No symmetry.
* Let's look at Problem 8 for context. Problem 8 is a kite/rhombus type shape.
* Let's re-read Problem 7. Is it possible that $x$ and $y$ are equal? (Isosceles trapezoid?)
* If it's an isosceles trapezoid, base angles are equal.
* If top and bottom are bases: Top angles equal? $x = 90$? Then bottom angles equal? $y = 14$? Sum = $90+90+14+14 = 208 \neq 360$. No.
* If left and right are bases: Left angles equal? $x=y$. Right angles equal? $90=14$? Impossible.
* There must be a simpler interpretation. Look at the lines. The top line and bottom line look horizontal. The left line looks vertical. The right line is slanted.
* If the left line is vertical and top/bottom are horizontal, then Top-Left ($x$) is $90^\circ$ and Bottom-Left ($y$) is $90^\circ$.
* If $x=90$ and $y=90$: Sum = $90 + 90 + 90 (\text{top right}) + 14 (\text{bottom right}) = 284 \neq 360$. So the top and bottom are not both perpendicular to the left side.
* Let's look at the square symbol on Top-Right. That means the Top Side is perpendicular to the Right Side.
* Let's assume the figure is a trapezoid with parallel Top and Bottom sides.
* If Top || Bottom, then Consecutive Interior Angles between parallel lines sum to 180.
* Right side transversal: Top-Right ($90$) + Bottom-Right ($14$) = 104. Not 180. So Top and Bottom are NOT parallel.
* Let's assume Left and Right sides are parallel.
* Left || Right.
* Top transversal: Top-Left ($x$) + Top-Right ($90$) = 180. So $x = 90^\circ$.
* Bottom transversal: Bottom-Left ($y$) + Bottom-Right ($14$) = 180. So $y = 166^\circ$.
* Check sum: $90 + 90 + 166 + 14 = 360$.
* This is the only geometrically consistent solution assuming it's a standard polygon type (trapezoid/parallelogram family). Even though the drawing of $x$ looks obtuse, in geometry problems, "not to scale" is common. The parallel marker is missing, but it's the most likely intended path given the constraints.
* Alternative: What if it's just a general quadrilateral and I'm missing a number? No, only $x, y, 90, 346$ are shown.
* Wait! Look at the arc for $346^\circ$. It goes almost all the way around. The interior angle is definitely $14^\circ$.
* Is it possible $x$ and $y$ are related by symmetry? No.
* Let's look at similar worksheets online. Often, if two variables are present, there's a property like "Parallelogram". In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.
* Opposite to $x$ is $14$. So $x=14$? (Visually wrong).
* Opposite to $y$ is $90$. So $y=90$?
* If $x=14, y=90$, sum = $14+90+90+14 = 208$. Fails.
* So it's not a parallelogram.
* What if it's a Right Trapezoid?
* Usually has two adjacent right angles. We have one at Top-Right.
* If Top-Left was also 90, then $x=90$. Then Top || Bottom. Then Bottom-Right + Top-Right = 180? $14+90 \neq 180$.
* If Bottom-Left was also 90, then $y=90$. Then Left || Right? No.
* Let's reconsider the Left || Right assumption. It yields integer answers that sum correctly. $x=90, y=166$.
* Let's reconsider the Top || Bottom assumption. It fails immediately.
* Let's reconsider No Parallel Lines. Then the problem is unsolvable without more info.
* Therefore, the intended answer relies on the visual implication that the Left and Right sides are parallel (making it a trapezoid standing on its side, or a parallelogram if $x$ was 14, but it's not). Or perhaps the Top and Left are perpendicular?
* Actually, look at the corner for $x$. It doesn't have a square. The corner for Top-Right DOES.
* Let's try one more idea. Is it possible the $346$ is a typo for something else? Unlikely.
* Let's go with the most robust mathematical deduction for school worksheets: Assume it is a Parallelogram.
* Wait, I already proved a parallelogram doesn't work with sum 360 if opposite angles are equal ($14, 90, 14, 90 \rightarrow 208$).
* What if the vertices are labeled differently? Top-Left $x$, Top-Right $90$, Bottom-Right interior $14$, Bottom-Left $y$.
* In a parallelogram, consecutive angles sum to 180.
* $x + 90 = 180 \rightarrow x = 90$.
* $90 + 14 = 104 \neq 180$. So it's not a parallelogram.
* Okay, what if it's an Isosceles Trapezoid?
* Base angles equal.
* If Left/Right are legs, Top/Bottom bases. Base angles at Top are equal? $x=90$. Base angles at Bottom equal? $y=14$. Sum = 208. No.
* There is a possibility that I am misinterpreting the diagram for #7.
* Let's look at the numbers again. $360 - 90 - 14 = 256$. So $x+y=256$.
* Is there any constraint making $x=y$? If $x=y$, then $2x=256, x=128$.
* If $x=128, y=128$. Does it look like it? $x$ is obtuse, $y$ is obtuse. This is visually plausible. An isosceles trapezoid has equal base angles. If the axis of symmetry runs through the midpoints of the top and bottom sides... wait, the right side has a 90 deg angle and the other side has a 14 deg angle. They are not symmetric.
* If the axis of symmetry runs through the left and right sides... Left side angles $x, y$. Right side angles $90, 14$. Not symmetric.
* Conclusion for #7: This problem is technically ambiguous without parallel markers. However, in many such worksheets, if a shape looks like a parallelogram, students are expected to treat it as one. But the numbers don't fit a parallelogram.
* Let's look at the shape again. It looks like a right trapezoid where the parallel sides are Top and Bottom, but the right side is perpendicular to the TOP but not the bottom? No, that's just a general quad.
* Let's guess the most likely "school logic":
* Maybe the $346$ is exterior, so interior is 14.
* Maybe the shape is a parallelogram and the student is supposed to use "Opposite angles are equal"?
* If they blindly apply "Opposite angles equal": $x = 14$ and $y = 90$.
* Check sum: $14+90+90+14 = 208$. This is wrong.
* Maybe they apply "Consecutive angles add to 180"?
* $x + 90 = 180 \Rightarrow x = 90$.
* $y + 14 = 180 \Rightarrow y = 166$.
* This creates a valid quadrilateral (a right trapezoid with parallel vertical sides). This is the only mathematically sound "standard shape" interpretation.
* I will provide $x=90, y=166$ but add a note. Actually, looking at the layout, $x$ is top-left. $y$ is bottom-left.
* Let's check if $x$ and $y$ could be calculated differently.
* What if the $346$ is a typo for $246$? Interior = 114.
* $90+114 = 204$. Remaining $156$. If parallelogram, $x=114, y=90$. Sum $114+90+90+114 = 408$. No.
* Let's stick to the calculation: Interior angle = $14^\circ$. Sum of knowns = $104^\circ$. Remaining sum = $256^\circ$.
* Without further info, $x$ and $y$ cannot be uniquely determined. HOWEVER, looking at Problem 8, it's a Kite. Problem 1 is a Rhombus/Kite. Problem 6 is a Rectangle/Trapezoid.
* Problem 7 is likely a Parallelogram where the diagram is just extremely misleading or "not to scale". If it IS a parallelogram, the properties are: Opposite angles equal, Consecutive supplementary.
* These two properties contradict each other with the given numbers ($90$ and $14$). You can't have a parallelogram with angles 90 and 14. (A parallelogram with a 90 degree angle is a rectangle, so all angles are 90).
* Since it has a 90 and a 14, it is not a parallelogram.
* Is it a Trapezoid? If Top || Bottom, right-side angles sum to 180. $90+14 \neq 180$.
* If Left || Right, top-side angles sum to 180 ($x+90=180 \rightarrow x=90$) and bottom-side angles sum to 180 ($y+14=180 \rightarrow y=166$).
* This forms a valid trapezoid. I will proceed with this answer.

* $x^\circ = 90^\circ, y^\circ = 166^\circ$

Problem 8
* This shape is a kite (or dart), indicated by the symmetry.
* In a kite, one pair of opposite angles are equal. Here, the left and right angles are both $58^\circ$.
* Given angles: $58^\circ$, $58^\circ$, $122^\circ$
* Add them up: $58 + 58 + 122 = 238^\circ$
* Subtract from 360: $360 - 238 = 122$
* $x^\circ = 122^\circ$
* *Self-Correction*: Wait, in a kite, the angles between unequal sides are equal. The angles between equal sides are not necessarily equal. The diagram shows the left and right angles as $58^\circ$. The bottom is $122^\circ$. The top is $x^\circ$.
* Sum: $58 + 58 + 122 + x = 360$.
* $238 + x = 360$.
* $x = 122$.
* This implies the kite is actually a rhombus or parallelogram? If opposite angles are equal ($122$ and $122$, $58$ and $58$), it is a parallelogram. $122+58=180$. Yes, it fits.
