Which best explains if quadrilateral WXYZ can be a parallelogram?
1 answer:
A quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram. The correct option is A.
<h3>What is a parallelogram?</h3>A quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram. Thus, a parallelogram is always a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral can or cannot be a parallelogram.
For a parallelogram, the pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel. Therefore,
1.) For the first pair.
(x+8) = 15
x = 7
2.) For the second pair
(x+2)=(2x-5)
x + 2 = 2x - 5
2 + 5 = 2x - x
x = 7
(x+2) = (7+2) = 9
Since the measure of the pair of opposite sides is 15 units, the pair of the other two sides measure 9 units.
Hence, the correct option is A.

Answer:
x = 250°
Step-by-step explanation:
"Angle formed between a chord and tangent intersecting on a circle measure the half of the intercepted arc"
From the figure attached,
Angle between the chord and the tangent = 55°
Measure of intercepted arc (minor arc AB) = h°
Therefore, 55° =
And m(minor arc AB) + m(major arc AB) = 360°
h° + x° = 360°
110° + x° = 360°
x° = 360° - 110°°
x = 250°
Therefore, measure of the intercepted arc is 250°.
