5) So for parallelogram ABCD, ∠B ≅ ∠D, and ∠A ≅ ∠C. Further, ∠B and ∠A are supplementary (i.e., their sum is 180°), and ∠D and ∠C are also supplementary.
So, we have that m∠B = m∠D. Therefore,
Now, let's substitute for x back into the expression for either ∠B or ∠D to find it's angle measure.
m∠B =
Now, remember that ∠B or ∠D are supplements of ∠A.
So, m∠B + m∠A = 180°.
That means m∠A = 180° – 72° = 108°.
That seems reasonable, because A appears to be an obtuse angle.
B because all the others are further from 6
Do Pythagorean theorem. If you don't know what that is...
Do A squared plus B squared Equals C squared and you will get your answer for the shape. Then calculate the area
Answer: x = 9/4, y = 7/6
║<span>2x + 3y = 8
</span>║<span>4x - 6y = 2
</span>║4x + 6y = 16
║4x - 6y = 2
Add both equations together:
8x = 18
x = 9/4
Sub x = 9/4 into 2x + 3y = 8
2(9/4) + 3y = 8
9/2 + 3y = 8
3y = 7/2
y = 7/6
