ABCD is a parallelogram. If angle B is equal to 2x and angle A is equal to x + 30, find x.
The opposite angles of a parallogram are equal. The sum of the angles = 360
degrees.
B = D = 2x,
A = C = x + 30.
2*2x + 2(x + 30) = 360. Solve for x.
To find the value of x, we can use the fact that the opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.
In a parallelogram, angle A is opposite to angle C, and angle B is opposite to angle D. This means that angle A and angle C are congruent, and angle B and angle D are congruent.
Given that angle B is equal to 2x, we can conclude that angle D is also equal to 2x.
Now, we know that the sum of the measures of the angles in a parallelogram is 360 degrees. So, we can set up an equation to find the value of x.
Since angle A is equal to x + 30 and angle B is equal to 2x, the sum of angle A and angle B is (x + 30) + 2x.
Setting up the equation: (x + 30) + 2x + 2x + 2x = 360
Simplifying the equation: 7x + 30 = 360
Subtracting 30 from both sides: 7x = 330
Dividing both sides by 7: x = 330/7
Therefore, the value of x is 47.14 (rounded to two decimal places).
