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

Given: Ratio of angles is 3: 7: 6: 4

Let the angles be 3x, 7x, 6x and 4x.


Sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is 360°


3x + 7x + 6x + 4x = 360°


20x = 360°



x = 18°


Now,


Angles of quadrilateral are


A = 3x = 3 × 18° = 54°


B = 7x = 7 × 18° = 126°


C = 6x = 6 × 18° = 108°


D = 4x = 4 × 18° = 72°



Extend DC to E


Now,


BCE + BCD = 180° [ sum of angles on a straight line = 180°]


⇒ ∠BCE + BCD = 180°


⇒ ∠BCE + 108° = 180°


⇒ ∠BCE = 180° – 108°


⇒ ∠BCE = 72°


BCE = ADC = 72°


BC AD


Hence, it is a trapezium.
