Example Question #1 :How To Find An Angle In A Parallelogram

A parallelogram contains 2 angles measuring 135 and 45. What are the measures of the other 2 angles?

Possible Answers:

Any pair of numbers which add to 180

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Parallelograms have angles totalling 360 degrees, but also have matching pairs of angles at the ends of diagonals. Therefore the 2 additional angles must match the 2 given in the question.

Rhombus_with_missing_angles_

Using the above rhombus, find the measurement of angle

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A rhombus must have equivalent opposite interior angles. Additionally, the sum of all four interior angles must equaldegrees. And, the adjacent interior angles must be supplementary angles (sum ofdegrees)--i.e. anglesdegrees.


Thus, the solution is:

Example Question #8 :How To Find An Angle In A Parallelogram

Vt_parallelogram_5

使用parallelogram above, find the measurement of angle

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A parallelogram must have equivalent opposite interior angles. Additionally, the sum of all four interior angles must equaldegrees. And, the adjacent interior angles must be supplementary angles (sum ofdegrees).

Since, angleandare supplementary the solution is:

Example Question #9 :How To Find An Angle In A Parallelogram

Vt_parallelogram_5

使用parallelogram above, find the sum of anglesand.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A rhombus must have equivalent opposite interior angles. Additionally, the sum of all four interior angles must equaldegrees. And, the adjacent interior angles must be supplementary angles (sum ofdegrees).

The first step to solving this problem is to find the measurement of angle. Since angleis a supplementary angle to angle, angle



Since, angleandare opposite interior angles they must be equivalent.

Thus, the final solution is:
