Question

Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 1:3. Find its angles.

Sum

Solution

Let the adjacent angles of a parallelogram be x and 3x.

Then, we have x + (3x) = 180°  ...[Adjacent angles of parallelogram are supplementary]

⇒ 4x = 180°

⇒ x = 45°

Thus, the angles are 45°, 135°.

Hence, the angles are 45°, 135°, 45°, 135°.   ...[Opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal]
