The measure of one angle of a parallelogram is 40 more than 3 times another. Find the measure of each angle.

Sagot :

Two angles in the same parallelogram must either be equal or else add up to 180 degrees.  These two are obviously not equal, so they must add up to 180.

A + B = 180
A = 180 - B  (we'll use this in just a second)

A = 3B + 40

180 - B = 3B + 40

Add 'B' to each side:

180 = 4B + 40

Subtract 40 from each side:

140 = 4B

Divide each side by 4 :

35 = B

A = 180 - B = 145
