[tex]m\angle A=108[/tex]
Explanation
[tex]\begin{gathered} m\angle D=4x+4 \\ m\angle C=6x+6 \\ m\angle A? \end{gathered}[/tex]
Step 1
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel. The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal
[tex]m\angle A=m\angle C\rightarrow equation(1)[/tex]
Also,the sum of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is equal to 180°
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{blue angle(1)+yellow angle(2)}=180 \\ m\angle D+m\angle C=180\rightarrow equation(2) \\ \text{replace} \\ (4x+4)+(6x+6)=180 \\ 10x+10=180 \\ \text{subtract 10 in both sides} \\ 10x+10-10=180-10 \\ 10x=170 \\ \text{divide both sides by 10} \\ \frac{10x}{10}=\frac{170}{10} \\ x=17 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Step 2
use the equation(1) to find angle A
[tex]\begin{gathered} m\angle A=m\angle C\rightarrow equation(1) \\ \text{replace} \\ m\angle A=6x+6 \\ \text{replace the x value} \\ m\angle A=6\cdot17+6=102+6 \\ m\angle A=108 \end{gathered}[/tex]
I hope this helps you
