Problem

Find the angles of a convex quadrilateral such that , , and .

problem
Solution
We have , . Consider the circumcircle of triangle . Since , point is interior to .

Extend beyond to meet at . By inscribed angles Given that , we obtain that and are bisectors of and respectively. Hence is the incenter of triangle , implying that is the bisector of .

From the cyclic quadrilateral we have

Final answer
Angle A = 110°, Angle B = 49°, Angle C = 140°, Angle D = 61°
