The measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 3:2. Find the measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram.
Answers
Let the measures of two adjacent angles , ∠A and ∠B, of parallelogram ABCD are in ratio 3: 2.
Let ∠A = 3x and ∠B = 2x
We know that sum of measure of adjacent angles in parallelogram is 180°.
∠A + ∠B = 180°
3x + 2x = 180°
5x = 180°
x = 180/5 =36°
∠A = ∠C = 3x = 3×36 = 108°..............(opposite angles)
∠B = ∠D = 2x = 2× 36 = 72°..............(opposite angles)
Thus the measures of angles of parallelogram are 108° ,72°, 108°,72°.

Let us take the two adjacent angles be 3x & 2x
Note :- Sum of the adjacent angles in a parallelogram is 180°
So, we will simply add up and equal to 180 and will get the value of x
→ 3x + 2x = 180
→ 5x = 180
→ x = 180/5
→ x = 36
Thus, we got the value of x which is 36
Now, we will simply subsitute the values
1st angle :- 3x = 3 × 36 = 108
2nd angle :- 2x = 2 × 36 = 72
