Question

The quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram. The value of a is?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

in a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal..

so C is 4a + 22. and B is 6a - 12.

sum of interior angles in a quadrilateral = 360

4a + 22. + 6a - 12. + 4a + 22. + 6a - 12 = 360

20a + 20 = 360

20a = 340

a = 17

sum of angles on a straight line = 180

B + x = 180

6 ( 17) - 12 + x = 180

102 + × = 180

× = 180 - 102

× = 78
