Question

Calculate all the angles of a parallelogram if one of its angles is twice its adjacent angle.
[2 Marks]

Open in App
Solution

Let the angle of the parallelogram given in the question statement be “x”.

Now, its adjacent angle will be 2x.

It is known that the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

So, all the angles of a parallelogram will be x, 2x, x, and 2x
[1 Mark]

As the sum of interior angles of a parallelogram = 360°,

x + 2x + x + 2x = 360°

Or, x = 60°

Thus, all the angles will be 60°, 120°, 60°, and 120°.
