Final answer:

By utilizing the properties of parallelograms, x is found to be 24. This leads to angle A and angle C each being 72 degrees, and angle B and angle D each being 108 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the measure of all angles in parallelogram ABCD where angle A is 3x and angle B is 2x+60, we can use the properties of parallelograms. In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and the sum of consecutive angles is 180 degrees.

Since angle A is 3x, angle C, being the opposite angle, is also 3x. Likewise, angle B is 2x + 60, so angle D (opposite angle) is also 2x + 60. To find x, we use the fact that angle A plus angle B equals 180 degrees:

  1. 3x + (2x + 60) = 180
  2. 5x + 60 = 180
  3. 5x = 120
  4. x = 24

With x = 24, we can calculate each angle:

  • Angle A: 3x = 3(24) = 72 degrees
  • Angle B: 2x + 60 = 2(24) + 60 = 108 degrees
  • Angle C: 3x = 72 degrees (same as angle A)
  • Angle D: 2x + 60 = 108 degrees (same as angle B)
