Question

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar.

Polygon ABCD is a parallelogram, and m-ABC = 127º. The length of BC is 10 units, and the length of AB is 5 units.
1271
D
units, and m_BCD is
The perimeter of the parallelogram is

Answer 1

Perimeter = 30 units

m<BCD = 53°

Explanation:

Recall: in any parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary. Also, the pairs of parallel sides are equal in length.

We would use this knowledge to solve the problem given.

m<ABC = 127° (given)

BC = 10 units

AB = 5 units

✔️Perimeter of the parallelogram = AB + BC + CD + AD

AB = CD = 5 units (pair of parallel sides)

BC = AD = 10 units (pair of parallel sides)

Perimeter = 5 + 10 + 5 + 10

Perimeter = 30 units

✔️m<BCD = 180° - m<ABC (consecutive angles are supplementary)

m<BCD = 180° - 127° (Substitution)

m<BCD = 53°
