Ankush prepare a poster in the form of parallelogram , as in figure. -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

(i) Since sum of adjacent angles of parallelogram is 180° ∴ We have ∠A + ∠B = 180° ⇒ 5x + 7 + 3x - 3 = 180° ⇒ 8x + 4 = 180° ⇒ 8x = 176° ⇒ x = 176°/8 = 22° ∴ ∠A = (5x + 7)° = 5 × 22° + 7 = 117° ∠B = (3x - 3)° = 3 × 22° - 3 = 63° ∠C = ∠A = 117° [opposite angles of a ||gm] and ∠D = ∠B = 63° (ii) Properties of parallelogram (iii) By saving electricity, saving energy.
