Math Problem Statement
Solution
In this figure, two parallelograms and are given, and we are asked to find the value of .
Step-by-step Solution:
-
The point is the intersection of the diagonals of both parallelograms.
-
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and the diagonals bisect each other. This means that:
- The angle and should be equal, as diagonals bisect the angles at the intersection.
- Both of these angles are labeled as .
-
From the geometry of the diagram:
- The angle at point is given as .
- The external angle at , i.e., .
Using angle properties:
At point , we have: Since both angles and are equal to , we can write:
Solving for :
Thus, the value of is .
