Question

What is the value of z for the parallelogram shown? A.130 B.40 C.10 D.26

Answer 1

Z=10 because the opposite side is 50 degrees so the 5z=50

If you solve, z=10

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is C. The value of z is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the property of parallelogram, then opposite interior angles of a parallelogram are equal.

From the given graph it is clear that in parallelogram ABCD, angle A and angle C are opposite interior angles.

Using the property of parallelogram,

$\angle A=\angle C$                 (opposite interior angles of a parallelogram)

$5z^{circ}=50^{circ}$

$5z=50$

Divide both sides by 5.

$z=\frac{50}{5}$

$z=10$

The value of z is 10. Therefore the correct option is C.
