In parallelogram <strong>LMNO<\/strong>, the following angle relationships always hold true:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Opposite angles are equal<\/strong>:<br>\u2003\u2003\u2220L = \u2220N<br>\u2003\u2003\u2220M = \u2220O<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjacent angles are supplementary<\/strong> (they add up to 180\u00b0):<br>\u2003\u2003\u2220L + \u2220M = 180\u00b0<br>\u2003\u2003\u2220M + \u2220N = 180\u00b0, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that if you know one angle, you can determine all the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s assume that <strong>angle M = 70\u00b0<\/strong>. Using the property that adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2003\u2003\u2220L + \u2220M = 180\u00b0<br>\u2003\u2003\u2220L + 70\u00b0 = 180\u00b0<br>\u2003\u2003\u2220L = 180\u00b0 &#8211; 70\u00b0<br>\u2003\u2003\u2220L = <strong>110\u00b0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, angle L is 110\u00b0. Then angle N (opposite L) is also 110\u00b0, and angle O (opposite M) is 70\u00b0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if we didn\u2019t have angle M, as long as we had any one angle, we could still calculate angle L using the supplementary rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If <strong>no angles are given<\/strong>, then the best we can say is that <strong>angle L could be any value between 0\u00b0 and 180\u00b0, excluding those extremes<\/strong>, as long as the parallelogram rules are respected (opposite angles equal, adjacent angles supplementary).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, in a parallelogram, understanding one angle allows you to find the others. If \u2220M is 70\u00b0, then \u2220L must be <strong>110\u00b0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner4-565.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-228003\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the measure of angle L in parallelogram LMNOWhat is the measure of angle L in parallelogram LMNO The Correct Answer and Explanation is: Correct Answer: The measure of angle L depends on additional information.However, if angle L is given or if another angle is known, we can find it using the properties of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-228002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exams-certification"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228002\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
