We are given:
- Parallelogram CDEF
- ∠C = 13x - 10
- ∠D = 5x + 10
To Find: ∠E
Concept Used:
- Adjacent angles of a Parallelogram are Supplementary
Finding the value of 'x':
Since adjacent angles of a parallelogram are Supplementary:
∠D + ∠C = 180
5x + 10 + 13x - 10 = 180 [replacing the values of angle C and D]
18x = 180
x = 10 [dividing both sides by 18]

Finding Measure of Angle D:
We are given that:
∠D = 5x + 10
∠D = 5(10) + 10 [since x = 10]
∠D = 60°
__________________________________________________________
Finding the measure of ∠E:
∠D and ∠E are Adjacent angles
Since Adjacent angles are Supplementary:
∠D + ∠E = 180
60 + ∠E = 180
∠E = 120° [subtracting 60 from both sides]
Hence, the measure of ∠E = 120°

Answer:
x = 2 , y = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other , then
PT = TR , that is
y = 5x + 1 → (1)
QT = TS , that is
2y = 6x + 10 → (2)
substitute y = 5x + 1 into (2)
2(5x + 1) = 6x + 10
10x + 2 = 6x + 10 ( subtract 6x from both sides )
4x + 2 = 10 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 2
substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of y
substituting into (1)
y = 5(2) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11
Let the length of the shorter sides be x, then
Perimeter = x + x + x + 5
29 = 3x + 5
3x = 29 - 5 = 24
x = 24/3 = 8
Therefore, the length of longest side is 8 + 5 = 13 m.
