It is given that in quadrilateral ABCD, 2∠A = 3∠B = 2∠C = 6∠D.
Let 2∠A = 3∠B = 2∠C = 6∠D = 6k (where 6k is the L.C.M. of 2, 3, and 6).
Now, 2∠A = 6k
∠A =
∠A = 3k ……………(1)
Similarly, 3∠B = 6k
∠B =
∠B = 2k ……………(2)
2∠C = 6k
∠C =
∠C = 3k ……………(3)
And, 6∠D = 6k
∠D =
∠D = k ……………(4)
As we know, the sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is 360°.
So,
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
Using equation (1), (2), (3) and (4),
⇒ 3k + 2k + 3k + k = 360°
⇒ 9k = 360°
⇒ k =
⇒ k = 40°
Thus:
∠A = 3k = 3 x 40° = 120°
∠B = 2k = 2 x 40° = 80°
∠C = 3k = 3 x 40° = 120°
∠D = k = 40°
Hence, the angles of the quadrilateral are ∠A = 120°, ∠B = 80°, ∠C = 120° and ∠D = 40°.
