Answer

The measures of the angles are: $\\\\100^o,100^o, 110^o, \text{ and } 50^o$

Work Step by Step

Represent the unknown. $\\\\$Let x=measure of each of the two congruent angles $\\x+10$=measure of the third angle $\\0.5x$=measure of the fourth angle. $\\\\\\$The sum of the four angles is 360 therefore: $\\\\x+x+(x+10)+0.5x=360 \\\\3.5x+10=360 \\\\3.5x=360-10 \\\\3.5x=350 \\\\x=\frac{350}{3.5} \\\\x=100$ $\\\\\\$Thus, $\\\\x+10=100+10=110 \\\\0.5x = 0.5(100)=50$
