1. Problem Description

The problem states that three interior angles of a quadrilateral are 7575^{\circ}, 105105^{\circ}, and 100100^{\circ}. It asks whether a circle can be circumscribed around the quadrilateral.

2. Solution Steps

A quadrilateral can be circumscribed by a circle if and only if the sums of its opposite angles are equal to 180180^{\circ}.
First, we need to find the fourth angle of the quadrilateral.
The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360360^{\circ}. Let the fourth angle be xx. Then we have:
75+105+100+x=36075^{\circ} + 105^{\circ} + 100^{\circ} + x = 360^{\circ}
280+x=360280^{\circ} + x = 360^{\circ}
x=360280x = 360^{\circ} - 280^{\circ}
x=80x = 80^{\circ}
Now we have the four angles of the quadrilateral: 7575^{\circ}, 105105^{\circ}, 100100^{\circ}, and 8080^{\circ}.
We need to check if the sums of opposite angles are equal to 180180^{\circ}.
Case 1: 75+100=17518075^{\circ} + 100^{\circ} = 175^{\circ} \neq 180^{\circ}
105+80=185180105^{\circ} + 80^{\circ} = 185^{\circ} \neq 180^{\circ}
Case 2: 75+80=15518075^{\circ} + 80^{\circ} = 155^{\circ} \neq 180^{\circ}
105+100=205180105^{\circ} + 100^{\circ} = 205^{\circ} \neq 180^{\circ}
Case 3: 75+105=18075^{\circ} + 105^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}
100+80=180100^{\circ} + 80^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}
Since the sums of one pair of opposite angles equal 180180^{\circ}, a circle can be circumscribed around the quadrilateral.

3. Final Answer

Yes, a circle can be circumscribed around the quadrilateral.
