The measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 3: 2. Find the measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram
Let us consider that the measures of two adjacent angles, ∠A and ∠B, of parallelogram ABCD are in the ratio of 3: 2
And, ∠A = 3x and ∠B = 2x
We know that the sum of the measures of adjacent angles is 180o for a parallelogram
∠A + ∠B = 180o
3x + 2x = 180o
5x = 180o
∠A = ∠C = 3x = 108o (Opposite angles)
∠B = ∠D = 2x = 72o (Opposite angles)
Hence, the measure of the angles of the parallelogram are 108o, 72o, 108o, and 72o
