The correct Answer is:
To find all the angles of a parallelogram where two unequal angles are in the ratio of 2:3, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Properties of a Parallelogram**: In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and the sum of adjacent angles is supplementary (i.e., they add up to 180 degrees). 2. **Let the Angles be Represented in Terms of a Variable**: Let the two unequal angles be represented as: - Angle A = 2k - Angle D = 3k Here, k is a common multiplier. 3. **Set Up the Equation for Supplementary Angles**: Since angle A and angle D are adjacent angles, we can write the equation: \[ \text{Angle A} + \text{Angle D} = 180^\circ \] Substituting the expressions for angle A and angle D, we get: \[ 2k + 3k = 180^\circ \] 4. **Combine Like Terms**: Combine the terms on the left side: \[ 5k = 180^\circ \] 5. **Solve for k**: Divide both sides by 5 to find k: \[ k = \frac{180^\circ}{5} = 36^\circ \] 6. **Calculate the Angles**: Now that we have the value of k, we can find the angles: - Angle A = 2k = 2 × 36° = 72° - Angle D = 3k = 3 × 36° = 108° 7. **Determine the Remaining Angles**: Since opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal: - Angle B = Angle D = 108° - Angle C = Angle A = 72° 8. **Final Angles of the Parallelogram**: Therefore, the angles of the parallelogram are: - Angle A = 72° - Angle B = 108° - Angle C = 72° - Angle D = 108° ### Summary of Angles: - Angle A = 72° - Angle B = 108° - Angle C = 72° - Angle D = 108°
