If, in the quadrilateral JKLM, the measures of the angles J, K, L, and M are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5 : 6, then the quadrilateral is a:
Trapezium
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Trapezium.
J : K : L : M = 2 : 3 : 5 : 6
The sum of these angles
⇒ 2x + 3x + 5x + 6x = 360
⇒ 16x = 360
⇒ x = 22.5
So,
⇒ J = 2x = 45°
⇒ K = 3x = 67.5°
⇒ L = 5x = 112.5°
⇒ M = 6x = 135°
In a trapezium (or trapezoid), one pair of opposite sides is parallel. This condition is met when the sum of adjacent angles on the same side adds up to 180°.
Here, angles J and M (on one side) sum to: 45 + 135 = 180°
So, quadrilateral JKLM satisfies the condition of a trapezium
