Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to find the angles in a parallelogram and another seemingly unrelated angle P\angle P, given some other angles. Watch out! Don't forget the relationships between angles in a parallelogram!
Also, make sure your explanations are crystal clear.

STEP 2

1. Parallelogram Angles
2. Mystery Angle

STEP 3

Alright, let's tackle this parallelogram problem!
We're given parallelogram *HIJK* and told that the measure of H\angle H is H=45\angle H = 45^\circ.
We need to find the measures of J\angle J and K\angle K.

STEP 4

Remember, in a parallelogram, **adjacent angles** are *supplementary*, meaning they add up to 180180^\circ.
Also, **opposite angles** are *congruent*, meaning they have the same measure.

STEP 5

Since H\angle H and J\angle J are opposite angles, they have the same measure.
So, J=H=45\angle J = \angle H = 45^\circ.
Boom!

STEP 6

Now, let's find K\angle K.
Since H\angle H and K\angle K are adjacent angles, they are supplementary.
This means H+K=180\angle H + \angle K = 180^\circ.
We know H=45\angle H = 45^\circ, so 45+K=18045^\circ + \angle K = 180^\circ.

STEP 7

To find K\angle K, we subtract 4545^\circ from both sides of the equation: K=18045=135\angle K = 180^\circ - 45^\circ = 135^\circ.
Awesome!

STEP 8

Now, for the mystery angle!
We're given that mQ=70m\angle Q = 70^\circ and we need to find mPm\angle P.
Hmm, this seems disconnected from the parallelogram, but let's assume they're related somehow.
Maybe they're vertical angles?

STEP 9

If P\angle P and Q\angle Q are vertical angles, then they are congruent, meaning they have the same measure.
So, if mQ=70m\angle Q = 70^\circ, then mP=70m\angle P = 70^\circ as well!

STEP 10

For parallelogram *HIJK*, J=45\angle J = 45^\circ and K=135\angle K = 135^\circ.
For the mystery angles, assuming they're vertical angles, mP=70m\angle P = 70^\circ.
