Solving problems involving parallelogram.

1. A table cloth is cut into a parallelogram in which two opposite

angles measure (8x – 22) and (5x + 14). Find the measures of all
angles.

Opposite angles are congruent.
8x – 22 = 5x + 14 mC=?
8x – 5x = 14 + 22 8x – 22
= 8(12) – 22
= 96 – 22
m  C = 74

m  A= ?
m  A = m  A (opposite angles
are congruent
Therefore, m  A is also 74.
mB=?
m  B + m  A = 180 (consecutive angles are
supplementary)
m  B + 74 = 180
m  B = 180 – 74
m  B = 106

m  B = m  D (opposite angles are congruent)

If m  B is 106, therefore the m  D is also 106.
