The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the properties of a parallelogram. Let's go through the steps systematically. ### Step 1: Understand the properties of a parallelogram In a parallelogram: - Opposite angles are equal. - The sum of any two consecutive angles is 180 degrees. ### Step 2: Identify the given information We are given: - Angle D = 115 degrees. ### Step 3: Find Angle B Using the property that opposite angles are equal: - Since angle B is opposite to angle D, we have: \[ \text{Angle B} = \text{Angle D} = 115^\circ \] ### Step 4: Find Angle A Using the property that the sum of two consecutive angles is 180 degrees: - Angle A and Angle D are consecutive angles, so: \[ \text{Angle A} + \text{Angle D} = 180^\circ \] Substituting the value of angle D: \[ \text{Angle A} + 115^\circ = 180^\circ \] ### Step 5: Solve for Angle A To find angle A, we subtract 115 degrees from both sides: \[ \text{Angle A} = 180^\circ - 115^\circ = 65^\circ \] ### Conclusion Thus, the measures of the angles are: - Angle A = 65 degrees - Angle B = 115 degrees ### Summary of the Solution: - Angle A = 65 degrees - Angle B = 115 degrees
