Two consecutive angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio of 2:3 find the measure of a each angle
Answers
Hello
Here is your answer
Ratio of 2 consecutive angles=2:3
Let the angles be 2x,3x
2x+3x=180(Since Adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary)
5x=180
x=180/5
x=36
Answer=
i)1st angle 2x=2(36)=72°
ii)2nd angle=3x=3(36)=108°
Hope it helps you
Given,
The ratio of two consecutive angles of a parallelogram = 2:3.
To Find,
The measure of each angle of the parallelogram.
Solution,
We know that,
A parallelogram's consecutive angles are supplementary.
The sum of two consecutive angles of any parallelogram is 180°.
The ratio of two consecutive angles of a parallelogram = 2:3.
Let's assume two angles be 2x and 3x.
So. 2x+3x=180.
⇒5x=180.
⇒x==36.
So one angle of the parallelogram is 2x = 2×36=72°.
Another angle is 3x=3×36=108°.
Hence, The measurement of the two consecutive angles of a parallelogram is 72° and 108°.
