In a||gm if
and
find the value of
and the measure of each angle of the parallelogram.
It is given that in ABCD, and
We know that opposite angles of parallelogram are equal.
∴∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D
Also,
∠A + ∠B = 180° …Adjacent angles of parallelogram are supplementary
∴ (2x + 25)° + (3x − 5)° = 180°
5x° +20° = 180°
5x° = 160°
x° = 32°
∴∠A = 2 ⨯ 32 + 25 = 89°
∴ ∠B = 3 ⨯ 32 − 5 = 91°
Hence, x = 32°, ∠A = ∠C = 89° and ∠B = ∠D = 91°
