in a parallelogram WXYZ, the interior angle at point Y measures 30 degrees. what is the measure of the interior angle at point X?

1 answer

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and consecutive angles are supplementary (meaning they add up to 180 degrees). Given that the interior angle at point Y measures 30 degrees, you can find the measure of the angle at point X as follows:

Since angles Y and X are consecutive angles, we have:

\[ \text{Angle Y} + \text{Angle X} = 180^\circ \]

Substituting the value of angle Y:

\[ 30^\circ + \text{Angle X} = 180^\circ \]

Now, solve for angle X:

\[ \text{Angle X} = 180^\circ - 30^\circ = 150^\circ \]

Therefore, the measure of the interior angle at point X is \(150\) degrees.
