Solution:
ABCD is a parallelogram
Opposite angles are equal ∠B = 80°.
Sum of the angles on the same side is 180°.
∠A + ∠B = 180°.
∠A = 180° – 80° = 100°
And ∠C = 100° (opposite angles are equal).
Question 6.
In the figure, ABCD is a parallelogram. Find x, y, z.
Solution:
∠Y = 112° (opposite angles are equal)
In ADC, ∠x + ∠y + 40 = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)
∠x + 112° + 40° = 180°
∠x = 180° – 152° = 28°
∠z = 28°(transversal alternate interior angles are equal).
