What is the sum of all angles in a quadrilateral (what do they all add up to)?

• 450 degrees

• 360 degrees

• 270 degrees

• 180 degrees

Answer explanation

The sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees. Each angle in a quadrilateral adds up to a total of 360 degrees.

Is the family tree correct?

• yes

• no

Answer explanation

Parallelograms, trapezoids, and kites are all types of quadrilaterals.

Rhombi and Rectangles are both types of parallelograms. A square can be classified as a rhombus or a rectangle.

There is only one type of kite.

Find the missing angle in a quadrilateral with angles measuring 80°, 100°, and 120°.

• 110°

• 40°

• 90°

• 60°

Answer explanation

The sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360°. Subtracting the given angles (80° + 100° + 120°) from 360° gives the missing angle as 60°.
