Answer:
Measure of pair of opposite angle is 46° and other pair's measure is 134°of the parallelogram.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Measures of opposite angles of a parallelogram are ( 3x - 2 ) and ( 62 - x )
As we know from the property of parallelogram that opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
So,
( 3x - 2) = ( 62 - x)
Taking variable to L.H.S and constant to R.H.S
3x + x = 62 + 2
4x = 64
x = 64 / 4
x = 16
Measure of one angle = (3x - 2 )= 3 × 16 - 2 =46°
Measure of opposite angle = ( 62 - x) = 62 - 16 = 46°
We also know that ,
Same side interior angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.
So, measure of third angle = 180° - 46°=134°
