The angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360, regardless of what shape or size the figure takes. Let <math>x</math> be <math>\angle A</math>, so then:
 
 
 
<math>\angle B=.5x</math>
 
 
 
<math>\angle C=(1/3)x</math>
 
 
 
<math>\angle D=(1/4)x</math>
 
 
 
<math>\angle A+\angle B+\angle C+\angle D=360</math>
 
 
 
<math>x+.5x+(1/3)x+(1/4)x=360</math>
 
 
 
<math>(25/12)x=360</math>
 
 
 
<math>x=172.8</math>
 
 
 
or x is around 173, choice D.
