Find the value of each variable so that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
1 answer:
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

Answer:
20 4/7 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Take 12 feet and convert to inches
1 ft = 12 inches
12 * 12 = 144 inches
Divide by 7
144/7 =20 with 4 left over
20 4/7 inches

= (-12/20) = (-15/20)
= - 27/20
= - 1 7/20</span>
Answer:
6 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Square E'F'G'H' is just square EFGH translated to the left.
It is still the same size, just in a different location.
Line segment EF is the same length as segment E'F'.
