Answers
Answer:
80°,100°
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 4x and 5x be the angles of the parellelogram which are adjacent
Hence,
4x+5x=180°(bcz opposite sides of a parellelogram are parallel)
Thus, 9x = 180°
. . . . . . x=20°
Putting value of x in 4x,5x
Hence, 4x=4(20)=80°
. . . . . . . 5x=5(20)=100

Given :
- Two Adjacent sides of a parallelogram are in ratio of 4:5
To Find :
- Measure of each angle of parallelogram
Solution :
We are given that the adjacent sides of parallelogram are in ratio of 4:5.
Let, the angles be 4x and 5x
Also, we know that the opposite angles of parallelogram are equal. So, we can say that the measure of angles of parallelogram will be equal to 360° , by angle sum property of Quadrilateral.
So, the angles are, 4x, 5x, 4x and 5x
Now, by angle sum property of the quadrilateral
⇒4x + 5x + 4x + 5x = 360°
⇒9x + 9x = 360°
⇒18x = 360°
⇒x = 360/18
⇒x = 20
Value of x is 20°
____________________________
Now, we can find measure of all the angles of parallelogram :
• 4x = 4(20) = 80°
• 5x = 5(20) = 100°
So, all the four angles are : 80°,80°,100° and 100°
