Math Problem Statement

In parallelogram ABCD, what is the measure of x°?

Solution

Solution:

We are given a parallelogram ABCDABCD, and we need to determine the measure of xx^\circ. Here are the properties of parallelograms that are relevant to this problem:

  1. Opposite angles are equal.
  2. Adjacent angles are supplementary (their sum is 180180^\circ).

Step 1: Relating xx^\circ and the angle at AA:

The angle at AA is 6565^\circ. Since adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary: x+65=180x^\circ + 65^\circ = 180^\circ

Step 2: Solve for xx^\circ:

x=18065=115x^\circ = 180^\circ - 65^\circ = 115^\circ

Thus, the measure of xx^\circ is: 115\boxed{115^\circ}

Would you like a detailed explanation of the other angles (yy^\circ and zz^\circ) or any further assistance?


Related Questions:

  1. What is the value of yy^\circ in the parallelogram, and how can it be calculated?
  2. What are the properties of opposite angles in parallelograms, and how do they relate to this problem?
  3. If one angle in a parallelogram is 5050^\circ, what are the measures of all the other angles?
  4. How can you prove that adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary using geometry principles?
  5. What changes if this shape were a rectangle or rhombus instead of a generic parallelogram?

Tip:

Always use the property of supplementary adjacent angles in parallelograms when given one angle to determine the others quickly!
