To find the measures of the two unknown angles in the quadrilateral, we first need to determine the sum of the angles in a quadrilateral, which is \( 360^{\circ} \). Given angles: 1. \( 317.6^{\circ} \) 2. \( 31.6^{\circ} \) Now, we can find the total of the known angles: \[ 317.6 + 31.6 = 349.2^{\circ} \] Now, we subtract this sum from \( 360^{\circ} \) to find the total measure of the remaining two angles: \[ 360 - 349.2 = 10.8^{\circ} \] Let the measures of the two unknown angles be \( 4x \) and \( 5x \) since they are in the ratio \( 4:5 \). Therefore: \[ 4x + 5x = 10.8 \] This simplifies to: \[ 9x = 10.8 \] Now, we solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{10.8}{9} = 1.2 \] Now, we can find the measures of the two angles: 1. \( 4x = 4(1.2) = 4.8^{\circ} \) 2. \( 5x = 5(1.2) = 6.0^{\circ} \) Thus, the measures of the two angles are \( 4.8^{\circ} \) and \( 6.0^{\circ} \).
