The angle between two altitudes of a parallelogram through the vertex of an obtuse angle of the parallelogram is 60°. Find the angles of the parallelogram.
Let the parallelogram be ABCD, in which ∠ADC and ∠ABC are obtuse angles. Now, DE and DF are two altitudes of parallelogram and angle between them is 60°.
Now, $B E D F$ is a quadrilateral, in which $\angle B E D=\angle B F D=90^{\circ}$
$\therefore$ $\angle F B E=360^{\circ}-(\angle F D E+\angle B E D+\angle B F D)$
$=360^{\circ}-\left(60^{\circ}+90^{\circ}+90^{\circ}\right)$
$=360^{\circ}-240^{\circ}=120^{\circ}$
Since, $A B C D$ is a parallelogram.
$\therefore$ $\angle A D C=120^{\circ}$
Now, $\angle A+\angle B=180^{\circ}$ [sum of two cointerior angles is $180^{\circ}$ ]
$5=180^{\circ}-120^{\circ}$ $[\because \angle F B E=\angle B]$
$\Rightarrow$ $\angle A=60^{\circ}$
Also, $\angle C=\angle A=60^{\circ}$
Hence, angles of the parallelogram are $60^{\circ}, 120^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}$ and $120^{\circ}$, respectively.
