Question Find the measure of angle D in a parallelogram with mB=5x\mathrm{m} \angle B=5x and mC=2x+12\mathrm{m} \angle C=2x+12. Answer: mD=1805x(2x+12)=1807x12\mathrm{m} \angle D = 180 - 5x - (2x+12) = 180 - 7x - 12. To check, sum the angles of a parallelogram is 360 degrees.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the total:
A+B+C+D=360\angle A + \angle B + \angle C + \angle D = 360^\circ
Since the sum of the angles equals 360360^\circ, our answer for D\angle D is confirmed to be correct.
mD=120\mathrm{m} \angle D= 120^\circ
