Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in ratio 2:3 , find all the angles?
Answers
Answer:
Let the adjacent angles of the parallelogram be 2x and 3x.
We know that sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180o.
⇒ 2x + 3x = 180o
⇒ 5x = 180o
⇒ x = 36o
Therefore, adjacent angles are 2 × 36o = 72o and 3 × 36o = 108o
We know that the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
Thus, the angles of the parallelogram are 72o, 108o, 72o, 108o.
Answer: all angles are: 72 degree, 108 degree, 72degree and 108 degree
Step-by-step explanation: let the angles of parallelogram be 2x and 3x
since, opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal
therefore,
2x +3x +2x +3x = 360 (sum of angles of parallelogram is 360)
10x = 360
x = 360/10
x = 36
therefore, angles in ratio = 2x = 2*36 = 72
3x = 3*36 = 108
