Step-by-step explanation:
Answer
Let ∠A and ∠B are two adjacent angles.
But we know that sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180
o
∠A+∠B=180
o
Given that adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 4:5 and let that ratio be multiple of x
∠A+∠B=180
o
4x+5x=180
o
9x=180
o
x=180/9
x=20
o
∠A=4x=4×20=80
o
∠B=5x=5×20=100
o
Also ∠B+∠C=180
o
[Since ∠B and
∠C are adjacent angles]
100
o
+∠C=180
o
∠C=180
o
−100
o
=80
o
Now, ∠C+∠D=180
o
[Since ∠C and
∠D are adjacent angles]
80
o
+∠D=180
o
∠D=180
o
−80
o
=100
o
