Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's begin by addressing the first problem in the image:
Problem 11:
Find the values of x, y & z in the following parallelogram.
From the properties of parallelograms, we know:
- Opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal.
- Adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary (add up to 180°).
Looking at the diagram:
- The angle labeled (at point C) is opposite to the angle labeled 50° (at point A). Therefore, .
- The angle labeled (at point D) is adjacent to the angle 70° (at point B). So, they must add up to 180°. Therefore:
- Finally, the angle (at point B) is adjacent to the angle labeled 50° (at point A). These must also add up to 180°, so:
Thus, the values are:
Let me know if you'd like a breakdown for any of the other questions!
Relative Questions:
- What are the properties of angles in a parallelogram?
- How can we find unknown angles when given supplementary pairs?
- What is the difference between opposite and adjacent angles in a quadrilateral?
- How would the angle values change if this was a rectangle instead of a parallelogram?
- Can the internal angles of any quadrilateral always sum up to 360°?
Tip:
In a parallelogram, if one angle is known, you can always find the others because of the supplementary and equality properties of opposite and adjacent angles.
