Question: 3

001square02 -24964412
In the figure, ABCD is a parallelogram, what is the value of b?
  • 46
  • 48
  • 72
  • 84
  • 96

  Show/Hide Explanation 

Correct Answer: D

From the figure, ∠A = 48 + 48 = 96. Since the sum of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram equals 180°, we have ∠A + b = 180 or 96 + b = 180. Solving for b yields b = 180 – 96 = 84. The answer is (D).
