Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are (3x-4)° and (3x+16)°. Find the value of x and hence find the measure of the two angles.
Given:
Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are $(3x-4)^o$ and $(3x+16)^o$.
To do:
We have to find the value of $x$ and measure of the two angles.
Solution:
We know that,
Sum of the angles in a parallelogram is $360^o$ and opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
Therefore,
The four angles of the parallelogram are $(3x-4)^o, (3x+16)^o, (3x-4)^o$ and $(3x+16)^o$.
$(3x-4)^o+(3x+16)^o+(3x-4)^o+(3x+16)^o=360^o$
$12x+(-4+16-4+16)^o=360^o$
$12x=(360-24)^o$
$x=\frac{336^o}{12}$
$x=28^o$
$\Rightarrow (3x-4)^o=[3(28)-4]^o=80^o$
$\Rightarrow (3x+16)^o=[3(28)+16]^o=100^o$
The measure of the two angles of the parallelogram is $80^o$ and $100^o$.
