In the accompanying diagram of parallelogramABCD, m_A = (2x + 10) and mZB = 3x. Find thenumber of degrees in m_B.D3x(2x + - 10)ABBYour answer

Answer
Angle B = 102°
Angle A = 78°
Explanation
The first thing to note in answering this is that for parallelograms,
- Opposite angles are equal to each other.
- Adjacent angles (angles close to each other) sum up to give 180°.
So, in the given parallelogram, we can see that the two angles given are adjacent angles. Hence,
2x + 10° + 3x = 180°
5x + 10° = 180°
5x = 180° - 10°
5x = 170°
Divide both sides by 5
(5x/5) = (170°/5)
x = 34°
So, we can solve for Angle B now
Angle B = 3x = 3 (34°) = 102°
Angle A = 2x + 10° = 2(34°) + 10° = 68° + 10° = 78°
Hope this Helps!!!
