The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the values of two adjacent angles in a parallelogram that are in the ratio of 2:4. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Angles**: Let the two adjacent angles be represented as \(2x\) and \(4x\). 2. **Use the Property of Parallelograms**: In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary. This means their sum is equal to \(180^\circ\). Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ 2x + 4x = 180^\circ \] 3. **Combine Like Terms**: Combine the terms on the left side of the equation: \[ 6x = 180^\circ \] 4. **Solve for \(x\)**: Divide both sides of the equation by 6 to find the value of \(x\): \[ x = \frac{180^\circ}{6} = 30^\circ \] 5. **Find the Angles**: Now, substitute the value of \(x\) back into the expressions for the angles: - First angle: \[ 2x = 2 \times 30^\circ = 60^\circ \] - Second angle: \[ 4x = 4 \times 30^\circ = 120^\circ \] 6. **Conclusion**: The values of the two adjacent angles in the parallelogram are \(60^\circ\) and \(120^\circ\). ### Final Answer: The values of the angles are \(60^\circ\) and \(120^\circ\). ---
