The measures of 2 adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 3:2.find the measures of each of the angels of a parallelogram
Answers
as you know the sum of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180 degree.
Since their ratio is 3:2 their measures are: 3x and 2x degree. Write the equation:
3x+2x=180
5x=180
x=36
3*36=108degree
2*36=72degree

Here is your answer ☺
Given - The measure of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in ratio of 3:2.
Let the actual angles be 3x and 2x
To find - Measure of each angle of parallelogram.
Calculation - As we know that adjacent angle rule, the sum of adjacent angles is 180° thus,
3x + 2x = 180
5x = 180
x = 180/5 => 36°
Thus the angles are 2(36)=72°
And 3(36) = 108°
So, we have got the two angles that is 108° and 72°
As we know the property of parallelogram
Opposite angles are parallel and equal.
Thus, angle opposite to 108° is 108° and angle opposite to 72° is 72°
So the four angles are 108,72,108,72
Hope it helps !
