- The measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 4:5.
- The measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram.
According to the question,
The measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 4:5.
- ∠A = 4x
- ∠B = 5x
We know that opposite angles of parallelogram are equal
- ∠A = ∠C = 4x
- ∠B = ∠D = 5x
We know that, the sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°.
∠A + ∠B = 180°
➝ 4x + 5x = 180°
➝ 9x = 180°
➝ x = 180°/9
➝ x = 20°
- ∠A = ∠C = 4x = 4 × 20° = 80°
- ∠B = ∠D = 5x = 5 × 20° = 100°
We know that the parallelogram is a quadrilateral,
The sum of all angles around a quadrilateral .
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
➝ 80° + 100° + 80° + 100° = 360°
➝ 180° + 180° = 360°
➝ 360° = 360°

Let , ABCD be a parallelogram
Given ,
ㅤㅤRatios of the adjacent angles = 4:5
Let ,
ㅤㅤThe measure of the angle be x units
L ABC = 4xㅤ&ㅤL BCD = 5x

∵ In a parallelogram
- Opposite sides are parallel ( || )
- Opposite angles are same
ㅤ
L BAD = L BCD = 5x
ㅤㅤL ADC = L ABC = 4x
ㅤㅤㅤ
L ABC + L BCD + L ADC + L BAD = 360⁰
ㅤㅤ➪ 4x + 5x + 4x + 5x = 360⁰
