Answer:

<em>x = -2</em>

<em>y = -5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Properties of a Parallelogram</u>

  • Two pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
  • Two pairs of opposite sides are equal in length.
  • Two pairs of opposite angles are equal in measure
  • The diagonals bisect each other.
  • Adjacent angles are supplementary.
  • Each diagonal divides the quadrilateral into two congruent triangles.

Each diagonal is divided into two measures expressed with variables. Since diagonals bisect each other:

y + 23 = -4y - 2.  And

-2x + 6 = x + 12

Solve the first equation. Adding 4y:

5y + 23 = - 2

Subtracting 23:

5y = -25

Dividing by 5:

y = -5

Solve the second equation. Subtracting x and 6:

-3x = 6

Dividing by -3:

x = -2

Solution:

x = -2

y = -5

Fibonacci numbers can be found in many places in nature, for example, the number of petals in a daisy, the number of spirals in
Otrada [13]

Answer: The Fibonacci sequence is a numerical pattern that can appear in many living things. It was first described in the 12th century by the Italian Leonardo Finonacci.

It is an infinite sequence that begins with 0 and 1. The sequence is completed with the sum of the previous 2 numbers.

Following this logic, we can assemble the sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 and so on.

This sequence is very common in nature and can be observed in many living things, such as insects, plants, the human face, even a chameleon's tail.

For example in a shell.
