The correct Answer is:
To find all the angles of a parallelogram where one angle is twice its consecutive angle, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Angles**: Let one angle of the parallelogram be \( x \). According to the problem, the consecutive angle will then be \( 2x \). 2. **Identify Opposite Angles**: In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal. Therefore, if one angle is \( x \), the opposite angle will also be \( x \). Similarly, if one angle is \( 2x \), the opposite angle will also be \( 2x \). 3. **Set Up the Equation**: The sum of all angles in a quadrilateral (which includes parallelograms) is \( 360^\circ \). Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ x + 2x + x + 2x = 360^\circ \] 4. **Combine Like Terms**: Simplifying the left side of the equation gives: \[ 6x = 360^\circ \] 5. **Solve for \( x \)**: To find \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by 6: \[ x = \frac{360^\circ}{6} = 60^\circ \] 6. **Find the Other Angle**: Now that we have \( x \), we can find \( 2x \): \[ 2x = 2 \times 60^\circ = 120^\circ \] 7. **List All Angles**: The angles of the parallelogram are: - \( x = 60^\circ \) - \( 2x = 120^\circ \) - The opposite angles are also \( 60^\circ \) and \( 120^\circ \). ### Final Answer: The angles of the parallelogram are \( 60^\circ, 120^\circ, 60^\circ, 120^\circ \). ---
