Opposite Angles of a Parallelogram
In a parallelogram, the opposite angles are equal. Given that the two opposite angles formed at the point of intersection of the diagonals are 2x+61 and 3x+41, we can set them equal to each other.
Setting up the Equation
Since the opposite angles are equal, we have:
2x+61 = 3x+41
Solving this equation, we find:
x = 20
Finding the Adjacent Angles
Now that we have found the value of x, we can substitute it back into the expressions for the opposite angles to find their actual values:
2(20) + 61 = 101
3(20) + 41 = 101
Therefore, the opposite angles are both equal to 101 degrees.
Adjacent Angles
The adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary, which means they add up to 180 degrees. Since the opposite angles are both 101 degrees, the sum of the adjacent angles would be:
180 - 101 = 79 degrees
Therefore, the adjacent angles formed at the point of intersection of the diagonals of the parallelogram are both 79 degrees.
