Step-by-Step Solution
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal: 3x−10=x+50 → 2x=60 → x=30.
Answer: C) 30
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.
