In this parallelogram, the measure of

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let x = measure of angle A, y = measure of angle B <B is twice as big as <A, so we know that y = 2x the two angles are supplementary, so x+y = 180

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

x+y = 180 x+2x = 180 solve for x, then use this to find y

?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

these two angles are supplementary |dw:1372191866560:dw|

okay i get tht

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so if angle A is x, and angle B is y, then x+y = 180

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

B is twice as big as A so angle B = 2*(angle A) y = 2x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so x+y = 180 x + 2x = 180 ... plug in y = 2x 3x = 180 x = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

y = 2x y = 2*60 ... replace x with 60 (since x = 60) y = 120
