Here are the solutions to your questions:

4. Fourth angle of a quadrilateral

Step 1: Recall the sum of angles in a quadrilateral.
The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is 360∘360^\circ.

Step 2: Calculate the fourth angle.
Let the fourth angle be xx.

x+100∘+60∘+80∘=360∘x + 100^\circ + 60^\circ + 80^\circ = 360^\circ x+240∘=360∘x + 240^\circ = 360^\circ x=360∘−240∘x = 360^\circ - 240^\circ x=120∘x = 120^\circ

The fourth angle of the quadrilateral is 120∘\boxed{120^\circ}.

5. Size of each angle of a regular decagon

Step 1: Determine the number of sides of a decagon.
A decagon is a polygon with 10 sides, so n=10n=10.

Step 2: Calculate the sum of interior angles.
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with nn sides is given by the formula (n−2)×180∘(n-2) \times 180^\circ.

Sum of angles=(10−2)×180∘\text{Sum of angles} = (10-2) \times 180^\circ Sum of angles=8×180∘\text{Sum of angles} = 8 \times 180^\circ Sum of angles=1440∘\text{Sum of angles} = 1440^\circ

Step 3: Calculate the size of each angle.
For a regular polygon, all interior angles are equal. Divide the sum of angles by the number of sides.

Each angle=1440∘10\text{Each angle} = \frac{1440^\circ}{10} Each angle=144∘\text{Each angle} = 144^\circ

The size of each angle of a regular decagon is 144∘\boxed{144^\circ}.

6. What is a polygon?

A polygon is a closed two-dimensional shape made up of straight line segments connected end-to-end. The line segments do not cross each other, and the shape encloses a single region.

7. Angle between directions

Part a

W and E

West and East are opposite directions. The angle between opposite directions is 180∘180^\circ.
The angle between W and E is 180∘\boxed{180^\circ}.

Part b

180∘180^\circ

NE and SW

Northeast and Southwest are opposite directions. The angle between opposite directions is 180∘180^\circ.
The angle between NE and SW is 180∘\boxed{180^\circ}.

8. 3-figure bearing of B from A

  1. Understand 3-figure bearings.

    A 3-figure bearing is an angle measured clockwise from the North direction, expressed with three digits.

  2. Identify the direction of B from A.

    From the diagram, point B is in the Southeast quadrant relative to point A. The line AB appears to be exactly halfway between South and East.

  3. Calculate the bearing.

    North is 000∘000^\circ. East is 090∘090^\circ. South is 180∘180^\circ.
    The direction Southeast is exactly halfway between South and East.
    Therefore, the bearing is 180∘−45∘=135∘180^\circ - 45^\circ = 135^\circ.
    Alternatively, it is 90∘90^\circ (to East) +45∘+ 45^\circ (from East to Southeast) =135∘= 135^\circ.
    The 3-figure bearing of B from A is 135∘\boxed{135^\circ}.
