In a parallelogram, two adjacent sides measure 10 cm and 12 cm. The shorter diagonal is 15 cm. Determine, to the nearest degree, the measures of all four angles
By the Law of Cosines, we have
15^2 = 10^2 + 12^2 - 2(10)(12) cos(x)
And solving this for x, we have
cos-1 [ ( 225 - 100 - 144) / -240 ] = x = about 85.46”.......and the angle opposite this one will be the same
The other two opposite angles will measure (180 - 85.46)° = about 94.54° each
