Answer:

Measure of each angle is 90 degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : If two consecutive angles of a parallelogram are congruent.

To find the measure of each angle:

There are 6 important properties of parallelograms:

  • Opposite sides are congruent.
  • Opposite angles are congruent
  • Consecutive angles are supplementary.
  • If one of the angle is right angle, then all angles are right.
  • Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
  • Also, each diagonal of a parallelogram separates it into two congruent.

let A and D be two consecutive angle.

then, by the given condition

[tex]\angle A \cong \angle D[/tex]           ......[1]

From the  property of parallelogram:

Consecutive angles are supplementary

Then;

[tex]\angle A + \angle D = 180^{\circ}[/tex]

From equation [1];

[tex]\angle A + \angle A = 180^{\circ}[/tex]

Combine like terms :

[tex]2\angle A = 180^{\circ}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2 we get;

[tex]\frac{2 \angle A}{2} = \frac{180^{\circ}}{2}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\angle A = 90^{\circ}[/tex]

From the given property of parallelogram : if one of the angle is right, then all the angles in the parallelogram are right angle.

∴ [tex]\angle A = \angle B = \angle C = \angle D = 90^{\circ}[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of each angle is [tex]90^{\circ}[/tex]
