Question

Find the value of X and Y in the following parallelogram.AD =X+8 D=2y +13 C=16-x CB=5y+4 AB=o​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

AD = X + 8 ∠D = 2y +13 ∠C = 16 - x CB = 5y+4

In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary and opposite sides are equal.

Therefore for parallelogram ABCD, AB = CD, CB = AD

Since AD = CB (opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal):

x + 8 = 5y + 4

5y - x = 8 - 4

5y - x = 4             (1)

∠C + ∠D= 180° (consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary). Therefore:

16 - x + 2y + 13 = 180

2y - x + 29 = 180

2y - x = 180 -29

2y - x = 151             (2)

To find x and y, subtract equation 1 from equation 2:

3y = -147

y = -49

Put y = -49 in equation 2

2(-49) - x = 151

x = -98 - 151

x = -249
