Question

The quadrilateral shown is a parallelogram. If m∠ADC = 125° and m∠1 = 30°, what is m∠2? A) 15° B) 25° C) 35° D) 55°

Answer 1

Answer:

B) 25°

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the quadrilateral is the one shown in the picture attached, then a triangle ADC is form, where m∠ADC = 125° and m∠1 = 30°. The addition of the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180°, so:

m∠ADC + m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°

Replacing with the known values and isolating m∠2 we get:

125° + 30° + m∠2 = 180°

m∠2 = 180° - 125° - 30°

m∠2 = 25°
