The deck that Kenneth is building is the shape of a parallelogram, ABCD. The measure of angle C is one-third the measure of angle B. Find the measure of each angle of the deck.

Answer:

The angles of the deck are 45°, 135°, 45° and 135°.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that C is one third of measure of angle B.

But, in a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary.

Therefore, B + C = 180

[tex]C=\frac{1}{3} B[/tex]

[tex]B=\frac{B}{3} =180[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4B}{3} =180[/tex]

[tex]B=180(\frac{3}{4} )[/tex]

B = 135

and [tex]C=\frac{135}{3}[/tex]

C = 45

Since, opposite angles are equal in a parallelogram,

A = C = 45 and

D = B = 135

Hence, the angles of the deck are 45°, 135°, 45° and 135°.
