In a parallelogram, opposite angles are always ____.

Class 9QuadrilateralsGeometry — Quadrilaterals
  • ASupplementary
  • BEqual
  • CComplementary
  • DRight angles

Step-by-Step Solution

A key property of a parallelogram is that opposite angles are equal (∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D). Adjacent angles, by contrast, are supplementary.
Answer: B) Equal

Key idea: Special parallelograms

**Rectangle** (parallelogram + all angles 90°):
- All properties of a parallelogram.
- Diagonals are EQUAL (in addition to bisecting each other).

**Rhombus** (parallelogram + all sides equal):
- All properties of a parallelogram.
- Diagonals bisect each other AT RIGHT ANGLES.
- Diagonals also bisect the angles of the rhombus.

**Square** (rectangle + rhombus):
- All properties of both.
- Diagonals: equal, bisect at right angles, AND bisect angles.
