Answer:
The values of x and y that make the quadrilateral is a parallelogram are x = 12 and y = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
- In the parallelogram, every two opposite sides are equal in lengths
In the given figure
If DEFG is a parallelogram, then DE = GF and DG = EF
∵ DE = GF
∵ DE = 6x - 12 and GF = 2x + 36
→ Equate them
∴ 6x - 12 = 2x + 36
→ Subtract 2x from both sides
∵ 6x - 2x - 12 = 2x - 2x + 36
∴ 4x - 12 = 36
→ Add 12 to both sides
∵ 4x - 12 + 12 = 36 + 12
∴ 4x = 48
→ Divide both sides by 4
∴ x = 12
∵ DG = EF
∵ DG = 6y - 42 and EF = 4y
→ Equate them
∴ 6y - 42 = 4y
→ Add 42 to both sides
∵ 6y - 42 + 42 = 4y + 42
∴ 6y = 4y + 42
→ Subtract 4y from both sides
∵ 6y - 4y = 4y - 4y + 42
∴ 2y = 42
→ Divide both sides by 2
∴ y = 21
∴ The values of x and y that make the quadrilateral is a parallelogram are
x = 12 and y = 21
