Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are __________.
Answer: supplementary
Explanation:
The parallelogram is a geometric structure. It is a simple quadrilateral in which the opposite sides are parallel to each other. The length of the opposite sides are equal. The angles which are opposite to each other of a parallelogram are equal in value.
- The designed formula to find the area of a parallelogram is “height × base”.
- The designed formula to find the perimeter is “2×(sum of the length of adjacent sides)”
- Number of vertices = 4
- Number of Edges = 4
- There are no lines of symmetry present in a parallelogram.
- The angles that are opposite to each other in a parallelogram are equal.
The adjacent angles of a parallelogram are Supplementary. In order to prove this, we have to consider a parallelogram ABCD. We have to prove Angle A + Angle B =180° and Angle C + Angle D = 180°. We know that AB//CD and the transversal is AD. We know it by the property that the given interior angles of a parallelogram which are present on the transversal side and on the same side, are always Supplementary. Hence ∠A + ∠D = 180°
Therefore :
∠B + ∠C = 180°,
∠A + ∠B = 180°
∠C + ∠D = 180°
Therefore 180° is the value which we get when we add up a parallelogram’s two adjacent angles. Hence, we have proved that in any parallelogram structure, two adjacent angles are supplementary in nature.
