Question

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.

Answer 1

let the proportionality constant be x
3x+2x=180
5x=180
x=180/5
x=36.
hence,3x=3×36=108.
2x=2×36=72

The measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 3:2.

$\begin{gathered}\\\\\sf \large \red{\underline{To \: Find:-}}\\\\\end{gathered}$

Find the measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram.

$\begin{gathered}\\\\\sf \large \red{\underline{Solution :- }}\\\\\end{gathered}$

$\text{ \sf suppose the angles be equal to 3x and 2x}$

$\boxed{ \sf \orange{ we \: have \: ardjacent \: angles \: of \: a \: parallelogram \: = 180}}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf \underline{ \green{putting \: all \: values : }}\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\: \\ \sf \to \: 3x + 2 x = 180\: \\ \\ \sf \to \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:5x = 180 \\ \\ \: \sf \to \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:x \: = \frac{180}{5} \\ \\ \sf \to \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:x \: = \cancel{ \frac{180}{5} } \\ \\ \sf \to \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \purple{x = 36}\\\\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\sf \to \: 3x \\ \sf \to \: 3 \times 36 \\ \sf \to \red{108 }\\ \\ \\ \sf \to \: 2x \\ \sf \to \: 2 \times 36 \\ \sf \to \orange{72} \\\end{gathered}$
