Question

If each acute angle of a parallelogram measures 59 degrees, then what is the masure of each obtuse angle?

Answer 1

There are two acute angles in a parallelogram and 2 obtuse angles. This means that there is 360-(59*2) degrees left, or 242 degrees left to split between the two obtuse angles. Divide 242 by 2 to get 121 degrees.

Answer 2

A parallelogram has to have a total of 360 degrees in angles, so we take 59 x 2 to get 118, we then subtract 118 from 360, 360 - 118 =  242, we then divide by two because a parallelogram has 2 obtuse angles, giving us an answer of 121 degrees. Hope this helps
