let the adjacent angles be x then ,
other angle = (2/3)x
we know opposite angles of parallelogram are equal .
=> and sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is 360°therefore ,
we get ,
=> x+x+2x/3+2x/3 = 360°
=> 2x+4x/3 = 360°=> (6x+4x)/3 = 360° (making denominator equal)
=> 10x/3 = 360°
=> x = 360×3/10
=> x = 36×3 = 108°
therefore , other angle = (2/3)x
=> (2/3)×108°
=> (2/3)×108°
=> 2×36 => 72°

Answer:
72 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one be x
Other adjacent angle is 2x/3
So x + 2x/3 = 180 (Adjacent angle sum)
With 3 as LCM
3x+2x=5x
So 5x/3 = 180
So 5x = 180 × 3
So x = (180×3)/5
x = 108
Other angle = 180-108
= 72
