Answer:

The interior angles of the parallelogram are either:

XXX

{

159

,

21

,

159

,

21

}

or

XXX

{

Explanation:

Case 1: The given relation applies to consecutive angles

Consecutive angles of a parallelogram add up to  

180

Let  

a

and  

b

be consecutive angles (measured in degrees) such that the given relation holds:

XXX

a

=

9

b

30

and since  

a

+

b

=

180

b

=

180

a

XXX

a

=

9

(

180

a

)

=

1590

XXX

10

a

=

1590

XXX

a

=

159

and

XXX

b

=

180

a

=

21

Case 2: The given relation applies to opposite angles

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

Let  

a

be the measure (in degrees) of the referenced opposite angles (and  

b

be the measure of the other two angles:  

a

+

b

=

180

)

We are told

XXX

a

=

9

a

30

Therefore

XXX

a

=

30

XXX

a

=

XXX

b

=

The angles are

Explanation:

In a parallelogram, there are only two sizes of angle - two are acute and two are obtuse.

Opposite angles are equal .

Consecutive angles are supplementary because they are co-interior angle on parallel lines.

An additional solution to the one given by Alan P is using the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a parallelogram is 360°.

Let one angle be  

x

The size of the other angle is given by  

9

x

30

2

x

+

2

(

9

x

30

)

=

360

   

sum of the angles is 360°

2

x

+

18

x

60

=

360

20

x

=

420

x

=

21

°

The obtuse angles are each  

180

21

=

159

°

The other option where the given angle is the opposite angle is described is well explained by Alan P.

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles of the parallelogram are 21° and 159° respectively.

What is parallelogram?

A parallelogram is defined as a quadrilateral in which both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal.

In a parallelogram opposite interior angles are equal and the angles on the same side of the traversal are supplementary (i.e) 180°

For the given situation,

The measure of one interior angle be [tex]x[/tex] and

Another angle was given as [tex]9x-30[/tex]°  

⇒[tex]x+9x-30[/tex]°[tex]=180[/tex]°

⇒[tex]10x=180[/tex]°[tex]+30[/tex]°

⇒[tex]10x=210[/tex]°

On dividing [tex]10[/tex] on both sides,

⇒[tex]\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{210}{10}[/tex]

⇒[tex]x=21[/tex]°

So, another angle is [tex]9x-30[/tex] = [tex]9[/tex]×[tex]21-30[/tex]

⇒[tex]189-30[/tex]

⇒[tex]159[/tex]°

Hence we can conclude that the interior angles of the parallelogram are 21° and 159°.
