Answer:

The measure of all the angles are;

45°, 135°, 45°, and 135°

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The ratio of two adjacent angles of the parallelogram = 1:3

Let x represent one of the adjacent angles, and let y represent the other adjacent angle

Given that two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary, we have;

x + y = 180°

x:y = 1:3

Therefore, y = 3 × x = 3·x, which gives;

x + 3·x = 180°

4·x = 180°

x = 180°/4 = 45°

y = 3 × x = 3 × 45° = 135°

Given that opposite interior angles of a parallelogram are equal, we have, the measure of all the angles are;

45°, 135°, 45°, and 135°.
