Answer 1

Question:

Which describes the angles of a parallelogram?

Answer:

• A. It has 2 pairs of parallel sides and the opposite sides are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Parallelogram is a flat shape with opposite sides parallel and equal in length. Angles "a" and "b" add up to 180°, so they are supplementary angles. NOTE: Squares, Rectangles and Rhombuses are all Parallelograms!

Answer 2

Its two equal opposite angles are obtuse and the other two equal opposite angles are acute and describe the angles of a parallelogram.​ (Option D)

• Out of all the given options, only D talks about the angles.
• Since a parallelogram's angles, that are adjacent, are supplementary, one of these can be acute and the other obtuse.
• The angles that are opposite are of equal measure, so the parallelogram's two angles can be acute and the other two, obtuse.
• All the other options might or might not be true. So, D is correct.
