Solution

Let the angle be A and B.The angles are in the ratio of 1:2.Measures of A and B are x° and 2x°.Then, C=A and D=B (opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent)As we know that the sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°. A+B=180°x°+2x°=180°3x°=180°x°=180°3=60°Thus, measure of A=60°, B=120°, C=60° and D=120°.
