Exercise 14.2
1. Two opposite angles of a parallelogram are (3x − 2)° and (50 − x)°. Find the measure of each angle of the parallelogram.
Solution
2. If an angle of a parallelogram is two-third of its adjacent angle, find the angles of the parallelogram.
Solution
3. Find the measure of all the angles of a parallelogram, if one angle is 24° less than twice the smallest angle.
Solution
4. The perimeter of a parallelogram is 22 cm. If the longer side measures 6.5 cm what is the measure of the shorter side?
Solution
