Question

If A, B, C and D of a quadrilateral ABCD, taken in order, are in the ratio 3 : 7 : 6 : 4 then ABCD is a

(a) rhombus

(b) kite

(c) trapezium

(d) parallelogram

Open in App
Solution

given Angles of ABCD quadrilateral are in ratio 3:7:6:4

Sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360

let angle A = 3x ,
angle B = 7x
angle C = 6x
angle D = 4x
sum of angles = 360
3x+7x+4x+6x =360
20x = 360
x = 18
A = 54 , B = 126 , C = 108 , D = 72
it is not rhombus, parallelogram , kite as atleast one pair of angles to be equal for these quadrilateral.
therefore the quadrilateral can be a trapezium.
option c is correct
