two agent angle of a parallelogram are (2 X + 5 )and ( 3 x - 5). find the value of x
Answers
Correct Question:
Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are ( 2x + 5 ) and ( 3x - 5). Find the value of x.
Answer
Value of x is 36°
Explanation:
Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary ( i.e. they add up to 180° ).
⟹ ( 2x + 5 ) + ( 3x - 5) = 180°
⟹ 2x + 3x + 5 - 5 = 180°
⟹ 2x + 3x + 0 = 180°
⟹ ( 2 + 3 )x = 180°
⟹ 5x = 180°
⟹ x = 180°/5
⟹ x = 36°
Value of x is 36°
Double check:
( 2x + 5 ) + ( 3x - 5) = 180°
Substitute 36° in place of x
⟹ 2(36°) + 5 + 3(36°) - 5 = 180°
⟹ 2(36°) + 3(36°) = 180°
⟹ (2 + 3) (36° ) = 180°
⟹ 5 ( 36°) = 180°
⟹ 180° = 180°
Checked.

❖
We know that, Adjacent angles of triangle are supplementary .
(2x + 5) + ( 3x - 5) = 180°
➤ 2x + 5 + 3x - 5 = 180
➤ 5x = 180
➤ x = 36°
