The angle BCD = 120°
Given
A parallelogram and four angles
Required
Angle BCD
Solution
In A parallelogram
The sum of the four angles is 360°
Opposite angles are equal /congruent(A=C, B=D)
Consecutive angles are supplementary (A + D = 180 °, D + C = 180°, C + B = 180°, B + A = 180°).
We choose a solution by using
Consecutive angles :
∠C+∠B=180°
18x=180°
x=10
∠C=∠BCD =
[tex]\tt 12x=12\times 10=120^o[/tex]
Or we can use another ways :
The sum of the four angles is 360°
∠A+∠B+∠C+∠D=360°
12x+6x+12x+6x=360°
36x=360°
x=10
∠C=∠BCD =
[tex]\tt 12x=12\times 10=120^o[/tex]
