Question from Hanna, a student:

The consecutive angles of a parallelogram measures <A=(x+30) and <B=4x. What
are the measures of both angles?

Hi Hanna,

I drew a diagram of a parallelogram $ABCD$ and extended the side $DA$ to $E.$ The measure of the interior angle at $A$ is $x + 30$ and the measure of the interior angle at $B$ is $4x.$

parallelogram

What do you know about the angle $BAE?$
