Question 1: Two opposite angles of a parallelogram are (3x – 2)0 and

Therefore,
(3x – 2) 0 = (3(13) – 2) = 370
(50 – x) 0 = (50 – 13) = 370
Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.
x + 37 = 1800
x = 1800 − 370 = 1430
Therefore, required angles are: 370, 1430, 370 and 1430.

Question 2: If an angle of a parallelogram is two-third of its adjacent


angle, find the angles of the parallelogram.

Let the measure of the angle be x. Therefore, measure of the adjacent

Question 3: Find the measure of all the angles of a parallelogram, if

one angle is 240 less than twice the smallest angle.


Solution:
Given: One angle of a parallelogram is 240 less than twice the smallest
angle.
Let x be the smallest angle, then
x + 2x – 240 = 1800
3x – 240 = 1800
3x = 1080 + 240
3x = 2040
204°
x= = 680
3
So, x = 680
Another angle = 2x – 240 = 2(680) – 240 = 1120
Hence, four angles are 680, 1120, 680, 1120.

Question 4: The perimeter of a parallelogram is 22cm. If the longer


side measures 6.5cm what is the measure of the shorter side?
Solution:

Let x be the shorter side of a parallelogram.

I
NO A D
Perimeter = 22 cm

CO N
A
Longer side = 6.5 cm

PY
DO U A
Perimeter = Sum of all sides = x + 6.5 + 6.5 + x
T
ED PR

22 = 2 (x + 6.5)
11 = x + 6.5
C

or x = 11 – 6.5 = 4.5

Therefore, shorter side of a parallelogram is 4.5 cm

Question 5: In a parallelogram ABCD, ∠D = 135°, determine the


measures of ∠A and ∠B.
Solution:
It is given that ABCD is a parallelogram with ∠D = 135°
We know that the opposite angles of the parallelogram are equal.
Therefore,
∠𝐵 = ∠𝐷
∠𝐵 = 135°
Also, ∠𝐴 and ∠𝐵 are adjacent angles, which must be supplementary.
Therefore,
∠𝐴 + ∠𝐵 = 180°
∠𝐴 + 135° = 180°
∠𝐴 = 180° − 135°
∠𝐴 = 45°

T IO S I
Hence , ∠𝐴 = 45° and ∠𝐵 = 135°.

We know that the opposite angles of the parallelogram are equal.


Therefore,
∠𝐶 = ∠𝐴
∠𝐶 = 70°
Also, ∠𝐴 and ∠𝐷 are adjacent angles, which must be supplementary.
Therefore,
∠𝐴 + ∠𝐷 = 180°
70° + ∠𝐷 = 180°
∠𝐷 = 180° − 70°
∠𝐷 = 110°
Also, ∠𝐵 and ∠𝐷 are opposite angles of a parallelogram.
Therefore,

T IO S
∠𝐵 = ∠𝐷

I
∠𝐵 = 110°

Hence, the angles of a parallelogram are 70°, 110°, 70° and 110°.

∠𝐶𝐷𝐵 + ∠𝐴𝐷𝐵 + ∠𝐶 = 180°


From (i) and (ii), we get:
∠𝐶𝐷𝐵 + 60° + 75° = 180°
∠𝐶𝐷𝐵 + 135° = 180°
∠𝐶𝐷𝐵 = 180° − 135°
∠𝐶𝐷𝐵 = 45°
Hence, the required value for ∠𝐴𝐷𝐵 is 60°
And ∠𝐶𝐷𝐵 is 45°.

∠𝐵 = 180° − 60°
∠𝐵 = 120°

From (i)
∠𝐷𝑃𝐴 = ∠𝑃𝐴𝐵
Thus, sides opposite to equal angles are equal.
𝐴𝐷 = 𝐷𝑃
Similarly, 𝐷𝐶 || 𝐴𝐵
∠𝐶𝑃𝐵 = ∠𝑃𝐵𝐴
From (ii)
∠𝐶𝑃𝐵 = ∠𝑃𝐵𝐶
Thus, sides opposite to equal angles are equal.
𝑃𝐶 = 𝐵𝐶
Also,

be equal. Therefore,
