In parallelogram ABCD, the measure of angle A is 99 degrees. What is the measure of angle B?

What is 81 degrees ?


Opposite angles in a parallelogram are congruent, therefore 99+99= 198

All four angles in a quadrilateral add to 360 degrees

360 - 198 = 162

There are two remaining angles that are congruent to each other, therefore 162 /2 = 81

Angle B must be 81 degrees

Triangles ACD and BCD are isosceles. Angle BAC has a measure of 18 degrees and angle BDC has a measure of 48 degrees. Find the measure of angle ABD.


What is 138 degrees


18 + 18 = 36.

180-36 = 144

So base angles of ADC are each ½ of that.

144-96 = 48

So angle ADB is 24

24 + 18 = 42

180-42 = 138

What triangle congruence theorem can be used to prove triangle ABC and triangle XYZ are congruent?

What is the Side-Side-Side Triangle Congruence theorem.

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the missing side. 

Since all other sides are equal in length, the missing side should also be equal in lenght.
