(i) It is given that the angles of a quadrilateral are (3x - 5)°, (8x - 15)°, (2x + 4)° and 90°.
As we know, the sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is 360°.
So,
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
⇒ 90° + (2x + 4)° + (3x - 5)° + (8x - 15)° = 360°
⇒ 90° + 2x° + 4° + 3x° - 5° + 8x° - 15° = 360°
⇒ 74° + 13x° = 360°
⇒ 13x° = 360° - 74°
⇒ 13x° = 286°
⇒ x° =
⇒ x° = 22°
Hence, the value of x is 22.
(ii) ∠B = (2x + 4)°
= (2 22 + 4)°
= (44 + 4)°
= 48°
∠C = (3x - 5)°
= (3 22 - 5)°
= (66 - 5)°
= 61°
Hence, ∠B = 48° and ∠C = 61°.
