The largest of the other angles is four times the size of the smallest angle. Calculate the angles of this kite. \n" ); document.write( "------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "If the kite has four sides it is a quadrilateral. \n" ); document.write( "The sum of its interior angles is 360 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "If two of the angles are 70 degrees that leaves 220 degrees for the remaining \n" ); document.write( "two angles. \n" ); document.write( "1st angle = x \n" ); document.write( "2nd angle = 4x \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( "EQUATION: \n" ); document.write( "x + 4x = 220 \n" ); document.write( "5x = 220 \n" ); document.write( "x = 44 degrees (1st angle size) \n" ); document.write( "4x= 176 degrees (2nd angle size) \n" ); document.write( "=================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
