Where did you get that A and B? I could answer if you were much more precise.

The lengths (in centimeters) of the opposite side pairs are 59 cm , 38 cm. Option C) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 :

Given that,

Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite sides are congruent.

step 2 :

The opposite sides are AB and CD respectively.

The another opposite sides are BC and AD respectively.

step 3 :

If both pairs of opposite sides are congruent, then

AB = CD

44+3x = 64-x

3x+x = 64-44

4x = 20

x = 5

step 4 :

BC = AD

33+y = 48-2y

y+2y = 48-33

3y = 15

y = 5

step 5 :

Subsitute x=5 and y=5 in any of the given sides,

CD = 64-x = 64-5 = 59

∴ CD = 59 cm

BC = 33+y = 33+5 = 38

∴ BC = 38 cm

The lengths of the opposite side pairs are 59 cm , 38 cm.

The original area of a face would be a^2. Now that you added b to the edge, the new area of each face would be (a+b)^2. To find how much the are increased, subtract a^2 from (a+b)^2. $(a+b)^2-(a^2)= a^2+2ab+b^2-(a^2)= 2ab+b^2= b(2a+b)$ So the answer is b(2a+b)
