Answer:
Let two adjacent angles A and B of ∥gm ABCD be 3x and 2x respectively.
Since the adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.
∠A+∠B=180
⇒3x+2x=180
⇒5x=180
⇒x=5/180=36
∴∠3×36=108
and, ∠B=2×36=72
Since the opposite angles are equal in a parallelgram, therefore,
∠C=∠A=108 and ∠D=∠B=72
Hence, ∠A=108,∠B=72,∠C=108
and ∠D=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
