i. Let ABCD be the parallelogram. 

The ratio of measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 1 : 2. 

Let the common multiple be x. 

∴ ∠A = x° and ∠B = 2x° ∠A + ∠B = 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]

∴ x + 2x = 180 

∴ 3x = 180 

∴ x = 180/3

∴ x = 60

ii. ∠A = x° = 60° 

∠B = 2x° = 2 x 60° = 120°

∠A = ∠C = 60° 

∠B = ∠D= 120° [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]

∴ The measures of the angles of the parallelogram are 60° , 120° , 60° and 120°.
