If two opposite angles of a parallelogram are (5x - 65) and (x +15), find the measure of all
the angles.
Answers
Answer:
The opposite or facing sides of a parallelogram are of equal length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure.
Question :
If two opposite angles of a parallelogram are (5x - 65°) and (x + 15°), find the measure of all the angles.
Given :
♣ Two opposite angles of Parallelogram = (5x - 65°) and (x + 15°)
Explanation :
→ Opposite angles of parallelograms are equal
→ Sum of all sides of a parallelogram = 180°
(5x + 65°) + (x + 15°) = 180°
5x + 65° + x + 15° = 180°
5x + x + 65° + 15° = 180°
6x + 80° = 180°
6x = 180° - 80°
6x = 100°
x = 100°/6
x = 16.666
1st adjacent side = (5x - 65°)
= [(5 × 16.666) - (65°)]
= 83.33° - 65°
= 18.33°
2nd adjacent side = (x + 15°)
= 16.666° + 15°
= 31.666
