The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements about parallelograms is correct, we will analyze the statements step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Properties of a Parallelogram A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length. The opposite angles are also equal, and the sum of the interior angles is always 360 degrees. **Hint:** Remember that in a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal and parallel, and opposite angles are equal. ### Step 2: Analyze the First Statement The first statement claims that "a parallelogram in which two adjacent angles are equal is a rectangle." - If two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are equal, let's denote them as angle A and angle B. Since the sum of angles A and B must equal 180 degrees (because they are adjacent), if angle A = angle B, then each angle must be 90 degrees. - Therefore, if two adjacent angles are equal, it implies that each angle is 90 degrees, making the parallelogram a rectangle. **Hint:** Check if the equality of adjacent angles leads to each being 90 degrees. ### Step 3: Analyze the Second Statement The second statement claims that "the two opposite angles of the two angles are equal." - In a parallelogram, it is a known property that opposite angles are always equal. So if we have angle A and angle C as opposite angles, then angle A = angle C, which confirms this statement. **Hint:** Recall that in any parallelogram, opposite angles are always equal. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The first statement is **correct** because it correctly describes the condition under which a parallelogram becomes a rectangle. - The second statement is also **correct** because it states a fundamental property of parallelograms. ### Final Answer Both statements are correct.
