Verified Answer :

we know that

In a parallelogram consecutive angles are supplementary

In this problem

Angle Q and Angle R are consecutive angles

so

\((6x)\°+(20+2x)\°=180\°\)

Solve for x

\(8x=180-20\)

\(8x=160\)

\(x=20\°\)

therefore

the answer is the option C

\(x=20\°\)



The sum of the opposite sides of a parallelogram is equal to 180 degrees.

The value of x is 20.

Given

Figure PQRS is a parallelogram.

The expressions represent the measures of the angles in degrees.

What is the property of a parallelogram to calculate the angles?

The sum of the opposite sides of a parallelogram is equal to 180 degrees.

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

\(\rm m\angle 1+ m\angle 2 = 180\\\)

The measurement of angle 1 is (20+2x) degrees.

The measurement of angle 2 is (6x) degrees.

Therefore,

The value of x is,

\(\rm m\angle 1+ m\angle 2 = 180\\\\20+2x+6x=180\\\\8x=180-20\\\\8x=160\\\\x=\dfrac{160}{8}\\\\x=20\)

The value of x is 20.
