In the parallelogram ABCD, ∆A: ∆B=3:2. Let us write the measures of the angles
of the parallelogram
Answers
Answer:
Given,
∠A : ∠B = 3 : 2
Let ∠A = 3x
and ∠B = 2x
We know, In a parallelogram sum of adjacent angles is 180°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 180°
⇒ 3x + 2x = 180°
⇒ 5x = 180°
⇒ x = 36°
Now, ∠A = 3(36) = 108°
∠B = 2(36) = 72°
Also, Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal
⇒ ∠A = ∠C = 108°
⇒ ∠B = ∠D = 72°
Step-by-step explanation:
Corrected Question :
• In the parallelogram ABCD, ∠A: ∠B=3:2. Let us write the measures of the angles of the parallelogram.
Given :
• ABCD is a parallelogram
• Ratio of the angles ∠A: ∠B=3:2
To find :
• Measure of the angles of parallelogram
Solution :
A parallelogram ABCD is given.
Here,
∠A: ∠B=3:2
Let measure of angle A be 3x and measure of angle B be 2x.
∠A and ∠B are adjacent angles of the parallelogram.
We know that the sum of the adjacent angles is 180 degrees.
→ ∠A + ∠B = 180°
→ 3x + 2x = 180°
→ 5x = 180°
→ x = 180°/5
→ x = 36°
→ The value of x = 36°
Now,
→ ∠A = 3x
→ ∠A = 3 × 36°
→ ∠A = 108°
→ ∠B = 2x
→ ∠B = 2 × 36°
→ ∠B = 72°
Also we know that the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
→ ∠A = ∠C = 108°
→ ∠B = ∠D = 72°
Therefore the measures of the angles of the parallelogram are 108°, 72°, 108° and 72°.
