Correct Question:-
The measure of an angle of a parallelogram is 1/8 times of its adjacent angle. Find the measures of all the angles of the parallelogram.
Answer:-
Let the two angles be x and y.
Given:
One of the angles is 1/8 times the other.
→ x = 1/8 * y
→ x = y/8 -- equation (1)
We know that,
Sum of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram = 180°.
Hence,
→ x + y = 180°
Putting the value of x from equation (1) we get,
→ y/8 + y = 180°.
→ (y + 8y) / 8 = 180°
→ 9y = 180 * 8
→ y = 180 * 8/9
→ y = 160°
Putting the value of y in equation (1) we get,
→ x = y/8
→ x = 160/8
→ x = 20°
we know,
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
Hence, other two angles are also 160° , 20°.
Therefore, the four angles of the given parallelogram are 160° , 20° , 160° , 20°.
Answer:
The angles are 20°,160°,20°,160°
