Question

One angle of a parallelogram is twice the adjacent angle. Form the linear equations in two variables and find the measures of angles of the parallelogram.

A 60,100,180,2060^\circ, 100^\circ, 180^\circ, 20^\circ

B 140,20,120,80140^\circ, 20^\circ, 120^\circ, 80^\circ

C 60,120,60,12060^\circ, 120^\circ, 60^\circ, 120^\circ

D $100^\circ, 80^\circ, 100^\circ, 80^\circ"

Answer


The correct option is C: 60,120,60,12060^\circ, 120^\circ, 60^\circ, 120^\circ.

Let’s denote one angle of the parallelogram by xx and its adjacent angle by yy. According to the problem, one angle is twice the adjacent angle, which can be expressed as: x=2y(1) x = 2y \tag{1}

We also know that the sum of adjacent angles in a parallelogram is always 180180^\circ. Therefore, we can write: x+y=180(2) x + y = 180^\circ \tag{2}

Now, we substitute the value of xx from equation (1) into equation (2): 2y+y=180 2y + y = 180^\circ 3y=180 3y = 180^\circ y=1803=60 \therefore y = \frac{180^\circ}{3} = 60^\circ

If y=60y = 60^\circ, then using equation (1): x=2y x = 2y x=2(60) x = 2(60^\circ) x=120 x = 120^\circ

Thus, the measures of the angles in the parallelogram are (60^\circ) and (120^\circ). Since the angles of a parallelogram repeat, we have:

60,120,60,120 60^\circ, 120^\circ, 60^\circ, 120^\circ
