    A quadrilateral has three acute angles, each measuring \[{{75}^{o}}\] Find the measure of the fourth angle.

    A)  \[{{65}^{o}}\]                   

    B)                         \[{{135}^{o}}\]                

    C)                         \[{{140}^{o}}\]                

    D)                        \[{{225}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Each of the three acute angles is \[{{75}^{o}}\]. Let the fourth angle be \[{{x}^{o}}\]. Then \[3\times {{75}^{o}}+{{x}^{o}}={{360}^{o}}\] (Sum of angles of a quadrilateral.) \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{225}^{o}}+{{x}^{o}}={{360}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{o}}={{360}^{o}}-{{225}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{o}}={{135}^{o}}\]
