Question
In the following figure, ABCD and PQRS are two parallelograms such that ∠D = 120° and ∠Q = 70°.
Find the value of x.
Solution
ABCD is a parallelogram.
⇒ Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.
⇒ ∠DAB = ∠BCD and ∠ABC = ∠ADC = 120°
In ABCD,
∠DAB + ∠BCD + ∠ABC + ∠ADC = 360° ....( sum of the measures of angles of a quadrilateral )
⇒ ∠BCD + ∠BCD + 120° + 120° = 360°
⇒ 2∠BCD = 360° - 240°
⇒ 2∠BCD = 120°
⇒ ∠BCD = 60°
PQRS is parallelogram.
⇒ ∠PQR = ∠PSR = 70°
In ΔCMS,
∠CMS + ∠CSM + ∠MCS = 180° ....( angle sum property )
⇒ x + 70° + 60° = 180°
⇒ x = 50°
