given that ad and bc are parallel find the value of x
in a parallelogram, the adjacent
angles are supplementary angles. Which means that their sum of the adjacent
angle is equal to 180 degrees
A + B = 180
(9x + 15) + ( 3x -15) = 180
12x = 180
X = 180/12
X = 15
Answer:
The value of x is 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
AD and BC are parallel .
Thus ABCD is a parallelogram.
Now by using the parallelogram property.
Consecutive angles are supplementary i.e ∠A + ∠B= 180°
As shown in the figure
∠A = (3x - 15 )°
∠B = (9x + 15 )°
Put in the above
3x - 15 + 9x + 15 = 180
12x = 180
\(x = \frac{180}{12}\)
x = 15
Therefore the value of x is 15.
