the ratio of meaures of two adjecent angles of a parallelogram is 1:2, find measure of all angles of parallelogram .with solution
Answers
let first angle = x
let second angle = 2x
2x+x= 180° ( co-interior angles)
3x=180°
x=60°
first angle=60°
second angle= 120°
third angle = 60°
fourth angle = 120°
Given :-
The ratio of measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram = 1 : 2
To Find :-
The measures of all angles of parallelogram.
Analysis :-
Consider the common ratio as a variable.
Multiply each angle to the variable. Make an equation accordingly.
Find the value of the variable and find the other angle too.
Solution :-
Consider the common ratio as 'x'. Then the angles would be x and 2x.
We know that,
In parallelogram, sum of adjacent angles = 180°
Making a equation,
x + 2x = 180
3x = 180
By transposing,
x = 180/3
x = 60°
Finding the other angle,
2x = 2 × 60
= 120°
Since they are adjacent angles, the other two sides would be the same too.
Therefore, the angles of the parallelogram are 60°, 120°, 60° and 120°.
