Math Problem Statement

A parallelogram has one angle that measures 25°. What are the measures of the other three angles in the parallelogram?

Solution

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and the sum of adjacent angles is 180180^\circ.

Given:

  • One angle measures 2525^\circ.

Solution:

  1. The opposite angle will also be 2525^\circ since opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal.
  2. The adjacent angles will each measure 18025=155180^\circ - 25^\circ = 155^\circ since adjacent angles in a parallelogram add up to 180180^\circ.

Therefore, the measures of the four angles are:

  • 2525^\circ, 155155^\circ, 2525^\circ, and 155155^\circ.

  2. How do the properties of a parallelogram apply to solving for missing angles?
  3. If one angle in a parallelogram is obtuse, what can we infer about the other angles?
  4. How would this solution change if the shape were a rectangle or rhombus?
  5. What would happen to the angle measures if one of the angles were doubled?

Tip: In any quadrilateral, especially in a parallelogram, knowing just one angle can often help determine all others due to the symmetry and angle relationships.
