  1. Answer:

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let ∠A and ∠B are two adjacent angles.

    But we know that sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180

    o

    ∠A+∠B=180

    o

    Given that adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 4:5 and let that ratio be multiple of x

    ∠A+∠B=180

    o

    4x+5x=180

    o

    9x=180

    o

    x=180/9

    x=20

    o

    ∠A=4x=4×20=80

    o

    ∠B=5x=5×20=100

    o

    Also ∠B+∠C=180

    o

    [Since ∠B and

    ∠C are adjacent angles]

    100

    o

    +∠C=180

    o

    ∠C=180

    o

    −100

    o

    =80

    o

    Now, ∠C+∠D=180

    o

    [Since ∠C and

    ∠D are adjacent angles]

    80

    o

    +∠D=180

    o

    ∠D=180

    o

    −80

    o

    =100

    o
