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
ANSWER :-
We know that ,
Opposite Sides of parallelogram are parallel...
So, the adjecent angle will be interior angles of the transversal....which has the sum 180°.
So, let 3x and 2x be the angles....
➜ 3x + 2x = 180°
➜ 5x = 180°
➜ x = 36°
So, the angles are ...
3x = 36 × 3 = 108°
2x = 2 × 36 = 72°
Now ,
We know ,
opposite angles of parallelegram are equal...
So, the 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
