Kelly Fowler · Answer 1

In a parallelogram, consecutive

angles are supplementary

Vaughan · Answer 2

In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive angles in a parallelogram have a sum of 180°; this means they are supplementary.

All angles in a parallelogram are not necessarily congruent; the second statement is therefore not true.

Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are not necessarily congruent; therefore the third statement is not true.

Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are not complementary, as they add up to 180° instead of 90°.
