The opposite sides of a quadrilateral are parallel. If one angle of the quadrilateral is $60^o$, find the other angles.
Given:
The opposite sides of a quadrilateral are parallel and one angle of the quadrilateral is $60^o$.
To do:
We have to find the other angles.
Solution:
Let $AB \parallel DC$ and $AD \parallel BC$ and $\angle A = 60^o$ in quadrilateral $ABCD$.
$AB \parallel DC$ and $AD \parallel BC$
This implies,
$ABCD$ is a parallelogram.
Therefore,
$\angle A + \angle B = 180^o$ (Co-interior angles are supplementary)
$60^o + \angle B = 180^o$
$\angle B = 180^o-60^o= 120^o$
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
Therefore,
$\angle C = \angle A = 60^o$
$\angle D = \angle B = 120^o$
Hence, the other angles are $120^o, 60^o$ and $120^o$.
