Answer:

A. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: one of the properties of a parallelogram is that the diagonals bisect each other. This means that:

LJ = 2(LW)

11x + 2 = 2(5x + 2)

11x + 2 = 10x + 4

11x + 2 - 2 = 10x + 4 - 2

11x = 10x + 2

11x - 10x = 10x + 2 - 10x

x = 2

✅LW = 5x + 2

Plug in the value of x

LW = 5(2) + 2

LW = 10 + 2 = 12

What were some of the challenges pilgrims faced on their journey

EleoNora [17]

On the ocean Pilgrims encounter fierce storms, disease, and their ship falls into disrepair. During the first winter they lack shelter, warmth, and food.

The Pilgrims struggled to build homes, and many families crowded into the few homes that were built. Food was scarce, and many Pilgrims starved to death that first winter.
