Question

Find the missing measures in the parallelogram given below. Also, state the property used.

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

AD = BC = 8 ( opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent )

DC = AB = 15 ( opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent )

Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary , sum to 180° , so

∠ A + ∠ D = 180° , that is

∠ A + 68° = 180° ( subtract 68° from both sides )

∠ A = 112°

the opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent , then

∠ B = ∠ D = 68° , and

∠ C = ∠ A = 112°
