Solution

Let the angle of quadrilateral ABCD be x, 3x, 7x and 9xSince sum of all angles of a quadrilateral are 3600, Therefore,x+3x+7x+9x=360020x=3600x=180Thus, angles are,A= x=180B=3x=3×180=540C=7x=7×180=1260D=9x=9×180=1620Now, A+B=180+5401800AD||BCAnd, B+C=540+1260=1800AB||CDA + D = 18 + 162 = 180° AB||CDIt is a trapezium.Since both pair of opposite sides are not parallel therefore it is not a parallelogram.
