The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the angles A, C, and D of the parallelogram ABCD, given that angle B is 60 degrees and the angles are in the ratio A:C:D. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the properties of the parallelogram:** - In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal. - Adjacent angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees. 2. **Given values:** - Angle B = 60 degrees. - Therefore, angle D (which is opposite to angle B) = 60 degrees. 3. **Use the supplementary angle property:** - Since angles A and B are adjacent, we can write: \[ A + B = 180^\circ \] - Substituting the value of angle B: \[ A + 60^\circ = 180^\circ \] - Solving for angle A: \[ A = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ \] 4. **Determine angle C:** - Since angle C is opposite to angle A, we have: \[ C = A = 120^\circ \] 5. **Summarize the angles:** - Angle A = 120 degrees - Angle B = 60 degrees - Angle C = 120 degrees - Angle D = 60 degrees 6. **Express the angles in ratio form:** - The angles A, C, and D can be expressed as: \[ A : C : D = 120 : 120 : 60 \] 7. **Simplify the ratio:** - Divide each term by 60: \[ A : C : D = \frac{120}{60} : \frac{120}{60} : \frac{60}{60} = 2 : 2 : 1 \] ### Final Answer: The angles A, C, and D are in the ratio **2 : 2 : 1**.
