Problem
The interior angles of a quadrilateral form an arithmetic sequence. If the measure of the largest angle is , what is the measure of the second largest angle, in degrees?
Solution
Let the common difference of this arithmetic sequence be , so the second largest angle is degrees, the third largest is degrees, and the smallest angle is degrees. We know that the sum of the interior angles in a quadrilateral is equal to 360 degrees, so we have the equation , from which we find that degrees. Thus, the second largest angle is degrees.
Final answer
103
