The measure of one interior angle of a parallelogram is 0.25 times the measure of another angle. Find the measure of each.
------------------------
Sum of the angles = 360 degrees.
-----
Let the two larger angles have measure "x":
-----
Then the two smaller angles have measure "0.25x":
----
Equation:
x + x + 0.25x + 0.25x = 360
2.5x = 360 degrees
x = 144 degrees (measure of each of the 2 larger angles)
---
0.25x = 38 degrees (measure of each of the 2 smaller angles)
-----
Cheers,
