- A95°
- B170°
- C85°
- DIt cannot be found without knowing ∠A and ∠B separately
Step-by-Step Solution
The four angles of a quadrilateral add to 360°, so ∠A + ∠B = 360° − 100° − 70° = 190°. In triangle APB the angles at A and B are the halves ∠A/2 and ∠B/2, so ∠APB = 180° − ½(∠A + ∠B) = 180° − 95° = 85°. Rearranged, this says ∠APB = ½(∠C + ∠D) — a neat result, and the reason the last option is wrong: only the SUM of ∠A and ∠B is needed, and that is already fixed. The trap 95° stops at the half-sum ½(∠A + ∠B), which is the supplement of the answer, and 170° is ∠C + ∠D with the halving forgotten.
Answer: C) 85°
