We are given a worksheet titled
“Finding the Missing Angles in a Quadrilateral”. The key concept is:
>
The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is always 360°.
We will use this rule to find each missing angle `x°` (and in problem 7, also `y°`).
---
Problem 1:
Angles: 154°, 26°, 154°, x°
Sum = 154 + 26 + 154 + x = 360
→ 334 + x = 360
→
x = 26°
✔ Answer: 26°
---
Problem 2:
Angles: x°, 82°, 88°, 77°
Sum = x + 82 + 88 + 77 = 360
→ x + 247 = 360
→
x = 113°
✔ Answer: 113°
---
Problem 3:
Angles: 38°, 54°, 148°, x°
Sum = 38 + 54 + 148 + x = 360
→ 240 + x = 360
→
x = 120°
✔ Answer: 120°
---
Problem 4:
Angles: 120°, 66°, 60°, x°
Sum = 120 + 66 + 60 + x = 360
→ 246 + x = 360
→
x = 114°
✔ Answer: 114°
---
Problem 5:
Angles: x°, 150°, 66°, 100°
Sum = x + 150 + 66 + 100 = 360
→ x + 316 = 360
→
x = 44°
✔ Answer: 44°

Problem 6:
This is a
trapezoid with two right angles (marked with squares). So two angles are 90° each.
Given: 90°, 90°, 67°, x°
Sum = 90 + 90 + 67 + x = 360
→ 247 + x = 360
→
x = 113°
✔ Answer: 113°

Problem 7:
This one has an
exterior angle marked as 348°. We need to find `x°` and `y°`.
First, recall:
>
Interior angle + Exterior angle = 360° (they form a full circle at that vertex)
So, the interior angle at the bottom-right corner is:
360° - 348° =
12°
Now, we have a quadrilateral with angles: x°, 90° (right angle), y°, and 12°.
Wait — actually, looking at the diagram, there are
two right angles (squares) at top-left and bottom-left. So angles are:
- Top-left: 90°
- Bottom-left: 90°
- Bottom-right: 12° (interior, from exterior 348°)
- Top-right: x°
- And bottom side has angle labeled
y° — which must be the
bottom-right interior angle, but we just calculated it as 12°? That doesn’t match.
Let’s re-express:
Actually, the diagram shows:
- Top-left: right angle → 90°
- Bottom-left: right angle → 90°
- Top-right: x°
- Bottom-right: labeled
y°, but with an
exterior angle of 348° drawn around it.
So, the
interior angle at bottom-right is y°, and since the exterior angle is 348°, then:
> y° + 348° = 360° →
y° = 12°
Now, sum of all interior angles = 360°
So: 90° (top-left) + 90° (bottom-left) + x° (top-right) + y° (bottom-right) = 360°
→ 90 + 90 + x + 12 = 360
→ 192 + x = 360
→
x = 168°
✔ Answer: x° = 168°, y° = 12°
---
Problem 8:
Angles: x°, 58°, 58°, 122°
Sum = x + 58 + 58 + 122 = 360
→ x + 238 = 360
→
x = 122°
✔ Answer: 122°

📝 Summary:
All problems rely on the fundamental property:
>
Sum of interior angles in any quadrilateral = 360°
For Problem 7, we also used the fact that an
interior angle and its adjacent exterior angle add up to 360°.
