Question
consecutive angles in a parallelogram are
a. congruent
b. acute
c. convex
d. supplementary
e. parallel
In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary. This is because of the property of parallel lines (opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel) and the consecutive - interior angles theorem. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, consecutive - interior angles are supplementary. In a parallelogram, adjacent angles (consecutive angles) can be considered as consecutive - interior angles formed by one of the sides (transversal) and the two parallel sides.
Congruent angles: In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent, not consecutive angles.
Acute angles: A parallelogram can have acute and obtuse angles (except when it is a rectangle or a square). But this is not a general property of consecutive angles.
Convex: A parallelogram is a convex polygon, but this does not describe the relationship between consecutive angles.
Parallel: Angles cannot be parallel; sides of a parallelogram are parallel.
