Question
The angles A, B, C and D of a trapezium ABCD are in the ratio 3: 4: 5: 6. Le. ∠A : ∠B : ∠C : ∠D = 3:4: 5 : 6. Find all the angles of the trapezium. Also, name the two sides of this trapezium which are parallel to each other. Give reason for your answer.

Solution
As the trapezium ABCD is a quadrilateral,
∴ Sum of its interior angles = 360°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
⇒ 3x + 4x + 5x + 6x = 360°
⇒ 18x = 360°
⇒ x = `360^circ/18 = 20°`
∴ ∠A = 3x = 3 × 20° = 60°
and ∠B = 4x = 4 × 20° = 80°
and ∠C = 5x = 5 × 20° = 100°
and ∠D = 6x = 6 × 20° = 120°
AB is parallel to DC.
∵ ∠A + ∠D = 180°
∠A and ∠D are co-interior angles whose sum = 180°
