Answer 1

Answer:

9) JK = 24.5

10) LM = 24.5

11) m∡L = 51°

12) m∡M = 129°

Step-by-step explanation:

in a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary (add to 180 degrees) and are also congruent

so, ∡K = ∡M and ∡J = ∡L

since ∡'s L and M are adjacent we can add them and set them equal to 180

5z - 6 + 2z - 3 = 180

7z - 9 = 180

7z = 189

z = 27

therefore, m∡M = 5(27)-6 = 129 and m∡L = 180-129, or 51

Also in a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal; so KJ = LM and KL = JM

7x = 3x + 14

subtract 3x from each side to get:

4x = 14

x = 14/4 = 3.5

to find measure of JK, substitute 3.5 for 'x' to get (3.5)(7) = 24.5

to find measure of LM, substitute 3.5 for 'x' to get (3.5)(3)+14 = 24.5
