In figure, ABCD is a parallelogram in which ∠DAB = 75° and ∠DBC = 60°.

Question:

 In figure, ABCD is a parallelogram in which ∠DAB = 75° and ∠DBC = 60°. Compute ∠CDB, and ∠ADB.

Solution:

To find ∠CDB and ∠ADB

∠CBD = ∠ABD = 60°      [Alternate interior angle. AD∥ BC and BD is the transversal]

In ∠BDC

∠CBD + ∠C + ∠CDB = 180°      [Angle sum property]

⇒ 60° + 75° + ∠CDB = 180°

⇒ ∠CDB = 180° − (60° + 75°)

⇒ ∠CDB = 45°

Hence, ∠CDB = 45°, ∠ADB = 60°
