Answer:


\angle\,A=72^o\\\angle\,B=108^o

Explanation:

Notice that buy construction of a parallelogram,the angles
\angle \,A and
\angle \,C must equal each other. Then, based on the info given, we can write the following equation:


3\,y+27^o=5\,y-3^o\\27^o+3^o=5\,y-3\,y\\30^o=2\,y\\y=15^o

Then, angle
\angle \,A =
5\,(15^o)-3^o=72^o which is also equal to angle B

and since the addition of all internal angles of the parallelogram must equal
360^o , then:


B+D=360^o-72^o-72^o=216^o

and therefore, since
\angle \,B and
\angle \,D must be equal, then:


\angle\,B=(216^o)/(2) =108^o
