If the interior angle of point A in this parallelogram measures 155 degrees, what is the interior angel measure of point C?

1 answer

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180 degrees).

Given that the angle at point A measures 155 degrees, the opposite angle at point C will also measure 155 degrees.

Since angles A and B are adjacent, we can find the measure of angle B using the following relationship:

\[ \text{Angle A} + \text{Angle B} = 180^\circ \]

Substituting the value of angle A:

\[ 155^\circ + \text{Angle B} = 180^\circ \]

Now, solving for angle B:

\[ \text{Angle B} = 180^\circ - 155^\circ = 25^\circ \]

Thus, we find that angle B measures 25 degrees, and therefore, angle D (which is opposite angle B) also measures 25 degrees.

To summarize:

  • Angle A = 155 degrees
  • Angle B = 25 degrees
  • Angle C = 155 degrees (opposite angle A)
  • Angle D = 25 degrees (opposite angle B)

Therefore, the interior angle measure of point C is 155 degrees.
