1. **Problem statement:** We need to find the angles of a parallelogram given that the angle between two altitudes drawn from the vertex of an obtuse angle is 60°.
2. **Known facts and formulas:**
- Let the parallelogram have angles $\theta$ (acute) and $180^\circ - \theta$ (obtuse).
- Altitudes from a vertex are perpendicular to the opposite sides.
- The angle between two altitudes from the vertex of the obtuse angle is given as 60°.
3. **Step 1: Define the angles and sides**
- Let the obtuse angle be $\alpha = 180^\circ - \theta$.
- The two adjacent sides form angles $\alpha$ and $\theta$ at the vertex.
4. **Step 2: Express altitudes directions**
- Altitude to side adjacent to angle $\alpha$ is perpendicular to that side.
- The angle between the two altitudes is 60°.
5. **Step 3: Use vector or angle relations**
- The angle between the two sides is $\alpha$.
- The altitudes are perpendicular to these sides, so the angle between altitudes is $180^\circ - \alpha$.
6. **Step 4: Set up equation**
- Given angle between altitudes = 60°, so
$$ 180^\circ - \alpha = 60^\circ $$
- Solve for $\alpha$:
$$ \alpha = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ $$
7. **Step 5: Find the other angle**
- Since angles of parallelogram are supplementary:
$$ \theta = 180^\circ - \alpha = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ $$
**Final answer:** The angles of the parallelogram are $120^\circ$ and $60^\circ$.
