Quadrilateral Angles
1. **Problem 5:** One angle of a quadrilateral is 135°. Work out the size of the other angles.
A quadrilateral has four angles that add up to 360°.
2. **Formula:** Sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral = 360°.
3. Since one angle is 135°, the sum of the other three angles is:
$$360° - 135° = 225°$$
4. Without additional information, the other three angles could be any values that add up to 225°.

5. **Problem 6:** Calculate the values of a and b in the given quadrilaterals.
6. For the left part quadrilateral, the angles are 105°, 80°, 85°, and a.
Sum of angles = 360°:
$$105° + 80° + 85° + a = 360°$$
Simplify:
$$270° + a = 360°$$
Solve for a:
$$a = 360° - 270° = 90°$$
7. For the right part quadrilateral, the angles are 85°, 70°, a, and b.
Sum of angles = 360°:
$$85° + 70° + a + b = 360°$$
We know from the left part that $$a = 90°$$, so:
$$155° + 90° + b = 360°$$
Simplify:
$$245° + b = 360°$$
Solve for b:
$$b = 360° - 245° = 115°$$

8. **Problem 7:** One angle of a parallelogram is 62°. Work out the size of the other angles.
9. Properties of a parallelogram:
- Opposite angles are equal.
- Adjacent angles are supplementary (add up to 180°).
10. Given one angle is 62°, the opposite angle is also 62°.
11. Adjacent angles to 62° are:
$$180° - 62° = 118°$$
12. Therefore, the four angles of the parallelogram are:
$$62°, 118°, 62°, 118°$$
