Question

Yolanda is making a banner for a school pep rally. She cuts fabric in the shape of a parallelogram. The angle at the bottom-left corner measures 80°.

A parallelogram is shown. The top left angle is x degrees and the bottom left angle is 80 degrees.



What is the value of x?

Answer 1

its 100 i just took the test

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: x=100

Explanation:

In parallelograms the opposite angles are equal. As the bottom left angle is 80° the opposite angle (top right), is also 80°. All 4 angles in a quadrilateral must add up to 360. Because you know 2 angles added together are 160° the other two angles must equal 200°. As opposite angles are equal you know 2x=200, divide by 2 x=100
