Step-by-step solution for: Angles in Quadrilaterals (A) | 4th Grade PDF Geometry Worksheets
Let's solve the problem step by step.
---
We will use the fact that the sum of interior angles in any quadrilateral is 360°.
Also, we’ll use properties of specific quadrilaterals:
- Parallelogram: Opposite angles are equal; consecutive angles are supplementary (add to 180°).
- Rhombus / Kite: Two pairs of adjacent sides equal; some symmetry.
- Trapezoid: One pair of parallel sides → consecutive angles between parallel sides are supplementary.
- Rectangle / Right angle: 90°
---
#### ✔ Figure 1: Trapezoid (a)
- Given: One angle = 124°
- Markings show two pairs of equal sides (suggesting an isosceles trapezoid)
- In an isosceles trapezoid, base angles are equal.
- So, the angles on the same side are supplementary (since one pair of sides is parallel).
Let’s assume:
- Top left = 124°
- Then top right = ? → But since it's isosceles, the two top angles should be equal? Wait — actually, in isosceles trapezoids, the base angles are equal, so:
- The two angles adjacent to the longer base are equal.
- The two angles adjacent to the shorter base are equal.
But here, only one angle is given: 124°.
Looking at the diagram:
- The figure has one pair of parallel sides (indicated by arrows), and two non-parallel sides marked with ticks (equal length), so it's an isosceles trapezoid.
- The 124° angle is at the top-left. Since it's isosceles, the opposite angle (bottom-right) should also be 124°?
- No — in a trapezoid, the angles on the same leg are supplementary.
Actually:
- Angles adjacent to the same leg are supplementary.
- So, if top-left is 124°, then bottom-left (adjacent along the left leg) must be 180° – 124° = 56°.
- But wait — the unknown is labeled a, which is at the bottom-right corner.
Wait — let's label carefully.
From the diagram:
- Top-left: 124°
- Bottom-right: labeled a
- Sides: top and bottom are parallel (arrows), and the non-parallel sides have tick marks (equal), so isosceles trapezoid.
In an isosceles trapezoid:
- Base angles are equal.
- So, the two angles on the top base are equal.
- The two angles on the bottom base are equal.
But only one angle is given: 124°, at the top-left.
So, top-right must also be 124°.
Then sum of top angles = 124 + 124 = 248°
Total for quadrilateral = 360° → remaining two angles (bottom-left and bottom-right) = 360 – 248 = 112°
Since it's isosceles, these two angles are equal → each = 112 ÷ 2 = 56°
So, a = 56°
✔ a = 56°
---
#### ✔ Figure 2: Parallelogram (b)
- Given: One angle = 73°
- In a parallelogram:
- Opposite angles are equal
- Consecutive angles are supplementary (add to 180°)
So, angle b is opposite to 73° → so b = 73°
Wait — but look at the diagram:
- The 73° is on the bottom-left.
- Angle b is on the bottom-right.
- In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and consecutive angles add to 180°.
So, angle b is adjacent to 73° → so they are consecutive → sum to 180°
So:
b = 180° – 73° = 107°
Wait — but let's double-check the diagram.
The shape has arrows indicating opposite sides are parallel → parallelogram.
Angle at bottom-left = 73°
Then angle at bottom-right (b) is adjacent to it → so they form a straight line across the base → yes, supplementary.
So b = 180° – 73° = 107°
✔ b = 107°
---
#### ✔ Figure 3: Rhombus (d)
- All sides equal (ticks), so it's a rhombus (a type of parallelogram)
- Given: One angle = 115°
- In a rhombus:
- Opposite angles are equal
- Adjacent angles are supplementary
So, the angle d is adjacent to 115° → so d = 180° – 115° = 65°
✔ d = 65°
---
#### ✔ Figure 4: Kite (e)
- Shape has two pairs of adjacent equal sides (ticks)
- Given: Top angle = 83°, bottom angle = 37°
- We need to find e, which is the middle angle (between the two unequal sides)
But wait — in a kite:
- One diagonal is a line of symmetry
- The angles between unequal sides are equal
- But here, the top angle is 83°, bottom is 37°, and e is the angle between the two equal sides?
Wait — looking at the diagram:
- It's a kite with two triangles sharing a vertical axis.
- Top triangle: angle = 83°
- Bottom triangle: angle = 37°
- The angle e is the one at the "waist" — the vertex where the two unequal sides meet.
Wait — actually, from the diagram:
- The kite has two pairs of equal adjacent sides.
- The angle e is the vertex angle between the two equal sides on the left and right.
But the top angle is 83°, bottom is 37°.
But in a kite, the two angles between unequal sides are equal — but here, the angles at the top and bottom are not necessarily equal.
But actually, the diagonal splits the kite into two congruent triangles if it's symmetric.
Wait — better approach: Use total angle sum.
Sum of all angles in a quadrilateral = 360°
Given:
- Top angle = 83°
- Bottom angle = 37°
- The other two angles are equal because of symmetry (kite has one axis of symmetry — the vertical one)
So, let the two side angles be x each.
So:
83 + 37 + x + x = 360
120 + 2x = 360
2x = 240
x = 120
So each of the side angles = 120°
Now, angle e is the angle at the top of the lower triangle — but wait — no.
Wait — in the diagram, e is the angle at the left or right side, between the two equal sides?
Wait — actually, the diagram shows:
- Top point: 83°
- Bottom point: 37°
- Left and right points: both have ticks — meaning those sides are equal in pairs.
But angle e is the angle between the two equal sides on the left and right?
No — look again.
Actually, e is the angle at the top of the lower triangle, but it's shared.
Wait — perhaps e is the angle between the two unequal sides?
Wait — no — the kite has:
- Top triangle: two equal sides from top to left and top to right → so the top angle is 83°
- Bottom triangle: two equal sides from bottom to left and bottom to right → bottom angle is 37°
- The two sides on the left and right are shared.
So the two side angles (left and right) are the ones we need.
But angle e is labeled at the left — between the top and bottom.
Wait — the diagram shows e as the angle at the left vertex.
So:
- At top: 83°
- At bottom: 37°
- At left: e
- At right: ?
But due to symmetry (kite), left and right angles are equal.
So:
83 + 37 + e + e = 360
120 + 2e = 360
2e = 240
e = 120°
✔ e = 120°
---
#### ✔ Figure 5: Rectangle-like shape (c)
- Has two right angles (marked with squares)
- One angle = 99°
- Need to find angle c
But wait — the figure has:
- Top-left: angle c
- Top-right: right angle (90°)
- Bottom-right: 99°
- Bottom-left: right angle (90°)
Wait — but sum of angles in quadrilateral = 360°
So:
c + 90 + 99 + 90 = 360
c + 279 = 360
c = 360 – 279 = 81°
✔ c = 81°
---
- a = 56°
- b = 107°
- c = 81°
- d = 65°
- e = 120°
---
#### Trapezoid
- One pair of parallel sides
- Angles on the same side (adjacent to the same leg) are supplementary (add to 180°)
- In isosceles trapezoid: base angles are equal
#### Parallelogram
- Opposite angles are equal
- Consecutive angles are supplementary (add to 180°)
- Opposite sides are parallel
#### Kite
- Two pairs of adjacent sides equal
- One diagonal is a line of symmetry
- Angles between unequal sides are equal (but not necessarily opposite)
- Diagonals are perpendicular
- One pair of opposite angles are equal (the ones between unequal sides)
---
#### ✔ Figure 1: Quadrilateral (f)
- Angles given: 118°, 106°, 60°
- Find f
Sum = 360°
So:
f = 360 – (118 + 106 + 60) = 360 – 284 = 76°
✔ f = 76°
---
#### ✔ Figure 2: Irregular shape (g)
- This is not a quadrilateral — it's a pentagon? Wait — no.
Wait — the shape has three angles given: 35°, 53°, 22°, and one reflex angle labeled g.
But it looks like a triangle with a "bite" taken out — actually, this is a quadrilateral with a concave angle.
But let's count the vertices: 4 points → quadrilateral.
But the angle g is marked as a reflex angle (greater than 180°).
But we can still use the sum of interior angles = 360°
But wait — the three angles given are:
- Top: 35°
- Bottom-left: 53°
- Bottom-right: 22°
And g is the fourth angle — but it's drawn as a large angle (concave)
So sum of interior angles = 360°
So:
g = 360 – (35 + 53 + 22) = 360 – 110 = 250°
But wait — is this correct?
Yes — even if the angle is reflex, the interior angle at that vertex is still part of the total sum.
So:
g = 360 – 110 = 250°
✔ g = 250°
---
#### ✔ Figure 3: Triangle-like shape (h)
- Has a right angle (square symbol), 176°, and 37°
- Find h
Wait — this is a quadrilateral? But it has four sides?
Wait — look: it has a right angle, 176°, 37°, and h
But sum of angles = 360°
So:
h = 360 – (90 + 176 + 37) = 360 – 303 = 57°
✔ h = 57°
Wait — but check: Is this possible?
- 90° (right angle)
- 176° (very close to straight)
- 37°
- h = 57°
Sum: 90 + 176 = 266; 266 + 37 = 293; 293 + 57 = 350 → wait, not 360!
Wait — mistake!
Wait — 90 + 176 = 266
266 + 37 = 303
303 + 57 = 360 → yes, correct.
But wait — 303 + 57 = 360 → yes.
But is h the interior angle?
Yes — the angle labeled h is at the top-left.
So:
h = 360 – (90 + 176 + 37) = 360 – 303 = 57°
✔ h = 57°

🔷 Section A: Calculate the missing angles
We will use the fact that the sum of interior angles in any quadrilateral is 360°.
Also, we’ll use properties of specific quadrilaterals:
- Parallelogram: Opposite angles are equal; consecutive angles are supplementary (add to 180°).
- Rhombus / Kite: Two pairs of adjacent sides equal; some symmetry.
- Trapezoid: One pair of parallel sides → consecutive angles between parallel sides are supplementary.
- Rectangle / Right angle: 90°
---
#### ✔ Figure 1: Trapezoid (a)
- Given: One angle = 124°
- Markings show two pairs of equal sides (suggesting an isosceles trapezoid)
- In an isosceles trapezoid, base angles are equal.
- So, the angles on the same side are supplementary (since one pair of sides is parallel).
Let’s assume:
- Top left = 124°
- Then top right = ? → But since it's isosceles, the two top angles should be equal? Wait — actually, in isosceles trapezoids, the base angles are equal, so:
- The two angles adjacent to the longer base are equal.
- The two angles adjacent to the shorter base are equal.
But here, only one angle is given: 124°.
Looking at the diagram:
- The figure has one pair of parallel sides (indicated by arrows), and two non-parallel sides marked with ticks (equal length), so it's an isosceles trapezoid.
- The 124° angle is at the top-left. Since it's isosceles, the opposite angle (bottom-right) should also be 124°?
- No — in a trapezoid, the angles on the same leg are supplementary.
Actually:
- Angles adjacent to the same leg are supplementary.
- So, if top-left is 124°, then bottom-left (adjacent along the left leg) must be 180° – 124° = 56°.
- But wait — the unknown is labeled a, which is at the bottom-right corner.
Wait — let's label carefully.
From the diagram:
- Top-left: 124°
- Bottom-right: labeled a
- Sides: top and bottom are parallel (arrows), and the non-parallel sides have tick marks (equal), so isosceles trapezoid.
In an isosceles trapezoid:
- Base angles are equal.
- So, the two angles on the top base are equal.
- The two angles on the bottom base are equal.
But only one angle is given: 124°, at the top-left.
So, top-right must also be 124°.
Then sum of top angles = 124 + 124 = 248°
Total for quadrilateral = 360° → remaining two angles (bottom-left and bottom-right) = 360 – 248 = 112°
Since it's isosceles, these two angles are equal → each = 112 ÷ 2 = 56°
So, a = 56°
✔ a = 56°
---
#### ✔ Figure 2: Parallelogram (b)
- Given: One angle = 73°
- In a parallelogram:
- Opposite angles are equal
- Consecutive angles are supplementary (add to 180°)
So, angle b is opposite to 73° → so b = 73°
Wait — but look at the diagram:
- The 73° is on the bottom-left.
- Angle b is on the bottom-right.
- In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and consecutive angles add to 180°.
So, angle b is adjacent to 73° → so they are consecutive → sum to 180°
So:
b = 180° – 73° = 107°
Wait — but let's double-check the diagram.
The shape has arrows indicating opposite sides are parallel → parallelogram.
Angle at bottom-left = 73°
Then angle at bottom-right (b) is adjacent to it → so they form a straight line across the base → yes, supplementary.
So b = 180° – 73° = 107°
✔ b = 107°
---
#### ✔ Figure 3: Rhombus (d)
- All sides equal (ticks), so it's a rhombus (a type of parallelogram)
- Given: One angle = 115°
- In a rhombus:
- Opposite angles are equal
- Adjacent angles are supplementary
So, the angle d is adjacent to 115° → so d = 180° – 115° = 65°
✔ d = 65°
---
#### ✔ Figure 4: Kite (e)
- Shape has two pairs of adjacent equal sides (ticks)
- Given: Top angle = 83°, bottom angle = 37°
- We need to find e, which is the middle angle (between the two unequal sides)
But wait — in a kite:
- One diagonal is a line of symmetry
- The angles between unequal sides are equal
- But here, the top angle is 83°, bottom is 37°, and e is the angle between the two equal sides?
Wait — looking at the diagram:
- It's a kite with two triangles sharing a vertical axis.
- Top triangle: angle = 83°
- Bottom triangle: angle = 37°
- The angle e is the one at the "waist" — the vertex where the two unequal sides meet.
Wait — actually, from the diagram:
- The kite has two pairs of equal adjacent sides.
- The angle e is the vertex angle between the two equal sides on the left and right.
But the top angle is 83°, bottom is 37°.
But in a kite, the two angles between unequal sides are equal — but here, the angles at the top and bottom are not necessarily equal.
But actually, the diagonal splits the kite into two congruent triangles if it's symmetric.
Wait — better approach: Use total angle sum.
Sum of all angles in a quadrilateral = 360°
Given:
- Top angle = 83°
- Bottom angle = 37°
- The other two angles are equal because of symmetry (kite has one axis of symmetry — the vertical one)
So, let the two side angles be x each.
So:
83 + 37 + x + x = 360
120 + 2x = 360
2x = 240
x = 120
So each of the side angles = 120°
Now, angle e is the angle at the top of the lower triangle — but wait — no.
Wait — in the diagram, e is the angle at the left or right side, between the two equal sides?
Wait — actually, the diagram shows:
- Top point: 83°
- Bottom point: 37°
- Left and right points: both have ticks — meaning those sides are equal in pairs.
But angle e is the angle between the two equal sides on the left and right?
No — look again.
Actually, e is the angle at the top of the lower triangle, but it's shared.
Wait — perhaps e is the angle between the two unequal sides?
Wait — no — the kite has:
- Top triangle: two equal sides from top to left and top to right → so the top angle is 83°
- Bottom triangle: two equal sides from bottom to left and bottom to right → bottom angle is 37°
- The two sides on the left and right are shared.
So the two side angles (left and right) are the ones we need.
But angle e is labeled at the left — between the top and bottom.
Wait — the diagram shows e as the angle at the left vertex.
So:
- At top: 83°
- At bottom: 37°
- At left: e
- At right: ?
But due to symmetry (kite), left and right angles are equal.
So:
83 + 37 + e + e = 360
120 + 2e = 360
2e = 240
e = 120°
✔ e = 120°
---
#### ✔ Figure 5: Rectangle-like shape (c)
- Has two right angles (marked with squares)
- One angle = 99°
- Need to find angle c
But wait — the figure has:
- Top-left: angle c
- Top-right: right angle (90°)
- Bottom-right: 99°
- Bottom-left: right angle (90°)
Wait — but sum of angles in quadrilateral = 360°
So:
c + 90 + 99 + 90 = 360
c + 279 = 360
c = 360 – 279 = 81°
✔ c = 81°
---
✔ Summary of Section A:
- a = 56°
- b = 107°
- c = 81°
- d = 65°
- e = 120°

- Angles given: 118°, 106°, 60°
- Find f
Sum = 360°
So:
f = 360 – (118 + 106 + 60) = 360 – 284 = 76°
✔ f = 76°
---
#### ✔ Figure 2: Irregular shape (g)
- This is not a quadrilateral — it's a pentagon? Wait — no.
Wait — the shape has three angles given: 35°, 53°, 22°, and one reflex angle labeled g.
But it looks like a triangle with a "bite" taken out — actually, this is a quadrilateral with a concave angle.
But let's count the vertices: 4 points → quadrilateral.
But the angle g is marked as a reflex angle (greater than 180°).
But we can still use the sum of interior angles = 360°
But wait — the three angles given are:
- Top: 35°
- Bottom-left: 53°
- Bottom-right: 22°
And g is the fourth angle — but it's drawn as a large angle (concave)
So sum of interior angles = 360°
So:
g = 360 – (35 + 53 + 22) = 360 – 110 = 250°
But wait — is this correct?
Yes — even if the angle is reflex, the interior angle at that vertex is still part of the total sum.
So:
g = 360 – 110 = 250°
✔ g = 250°
---
#### ✔ Figure 3: Triangle-like shape (h)
- Has a right angle (square symbol), 176°, and 37°
- Find h
Wait — this is a quadrilateral? But it has four sides?
Wait — look: it has a right angle, 176°, 37°, and h
But sum of angles = 360°
So:
h = 360 – (90 + 176 + 37) = 360 – 303 = 57°
✔ h = 57°
Wait — but check: Is this possible?
- 90° (right angle)
- 176° (very close to straight)
- 37°
- h = 57°
Sum: 90 + 176 = 266; 266 + 37 = 293; 293 + 57 = 350 → wait, not 360!
Wait — mistake!
Wait — 90 + 176 = 266
266 + 37 = 303
303 + 57 = 360 → yes, correct.
But wait — 303 + 57 = 360 → yes.
But is h the interior angle?
Yes — the angle labeled h is at the top-left.
So:
h = 360 – (90 + 176 + 37) = 360 – 303 = 57°
✔ h = 57°
