The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information about the parallelogram ABCD, where angle A is three times angle B. We will also find the length of side CD based on the expressions provided. ### Step 1: Set up the equations for angles Given that angle A is three times angle B, we can express this relationship mathematically: - Let angle B = x - Then angle A = 3x ### Step 2: Use the properties of a parallelogram In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and the sum of all angles is 360 degrees. Therefore: - Angle C = angle A = 3x - Angle D = angle B = x The equation for the sum of the angles in the parallelogram is: \[ \text{Angle A} + \text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} + \text{Angle D} = 360^\circ \] Substituting the values we have: \[ 3x + x + 3x + x = 360^\circ \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Combine like terms: \[ 8x = 360^\circ \] ### Step 4: Solve for x To find the value of x, divide both sides by 8: \[ x = \frac{360^\circ}{8} = 45^\circ \] ### Step 5: Find angles A, B, C, and D Now that we have x, we can find the angles: - Angle B = x = 45° - Angle A = 3x = 3(45°) = 135° - Angle C = angle A = 135° - Angle D = angle B = 45° Thus, the angles of the parallelogram are: - Angle A = 135° - Angle B = 45° - Angle C = 135° - Angle D = 45° ### Step 6: Set up the equation for the sides We are given: - AB = 5x - 7 - CD = 3x + 1 Since AB = CD in a parallelogram, we can set up the equation: \[ 5x - 7 = 3x + 1 \] ### Step 7: Solve for x Rearranging the equation gives: \[ 5x - 3x = 1 + 7 \] \[ 2x = 8 \] \[ x = 4 \] ### Step 8: Find the length of CD Now substitute x back into the expression for CD: \[ CD = 3x + 1 = 3(4) + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13 \] ### Final Answer The angles of the parallelogram ABCD are: - Angle A = 135° - Angle B = 45° - Angle C = 135° - Angle D = 45° The length of CD is: - CD = 13 units
