Sum of adjacent angles = 180°

∠A + ∠B = 180º

2∠A = 180º (∠A = ∠B)

∠A = 90º

∠B = ∠A = 90º

∠C = ∠A = 90º (Opposite angles)

∠D = ∠B = 90º (Opposite angles)

Thus, each angle of the parallelogram measures 90º.

Let x be the measure of two adjacent angles A and B.

We know that the adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

∴ ∠P + ∠Q = 180°
or X + x = 180°
or 2x = 180°
or x = 90°
∴ ∠P = 90° and ∠Q = 90°

We know that the opposite angles are equal in a parallelogram

∴ ∠P = ∠Q = ∠R = ∠S = 90°
