Answer:

ANSWER: Increase each dimension by 2 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

L=length; W=width; X=amount of increase; A=area

.

(L+X)(W+X)=2(LW)

(6m+X)(4m+X)=2(6m)(4m)

X^2+10X+24=48

X^2+10X-24=0

(X-2)(X+12)=0

(X-2=0) OR (X+12=0)

X=2 OR X=-12

X=2 meters

Find the value of each variable in the parallelogram
melomori [17]

Alright.

For 7, you'll want to put congruent sides equal to each other, assuming they are parallelograms. So, you'll get the two equations:

3x+2=23

2y-7=9

Solve using GEMDAS/PEMDAS, and you'll get these answers.

3x+2=23

3x=21

x=7

2y-7=9

2y=2

y=1

For 8, you'll want to do the exact same thing, formatting the numbers to equal each other. You'll get these two equations:

3y+5=14

2x-5=17

Solving them would make:

3y+5=14

3y=9

y=3

2x-5=17

2x=22

x=11

For 9, you have to remember that the angle opposite of one angle in a defined parallelogram are congruent. Thus:

130=2h

5k=50

solve them and you get

h=65

k=10
