////// The answer is: 4x+2
1. Start with ΔCIJ.
- ∠HIC and ∠CIJ are supplementary, then m∠CIJ=180°-7x;
- the sum of the measures of all interior angles in ΔCIJ is 180°, then m∠CJI=180°-m∠JCI-m∠CIJ=180°-25°-(180°-7x)=7x-25°;
- ∠CJI and ∠KJA are congruent as vertical angles, then m∠KJA =m∠CJI=7x-25°.
2. Lines HM and DG are parallel, then ∠KJA and ∠JAB are consecutive interior angles, then m∠KJA+m∠JAB=180°. So
m∠JAB=180°-m∠KJA=180°-(7x-25°)=205°-7x.
3. Consider ΔCKL.
- ∠LFG and ∠CLM are corresponding angles, then m∠LFG=m∠CLM=8x;
- ∠CLM and ∠CLK are supplementary, then m∠CLM+m∠CLK=180°, m∠CLK=180°-8x;
- the sum of the measures of all interior angles in ΔCLK is 180°, then m∠CKL=180°-m∠CLK-m∠LCK=180°-(180°-8x)-42°=8x-42°;
- ∠CKL and ∠JKB are congruent as vertical angles, then m∠JKB =m∠CKL=8x-42°.
4. Lines HM and DG are parallel, then ∠JKB and ∠KBA are consecutive interior angles, then m∠JKB+m∠KBA=180°. So
m∠KBA=180°-m∠JKB=180°-(8x-42°)=222°-8x.
5. ΔABC is isosceles, then angles adjacent to the base are congruent:
m∠KBA=m∠JAB → 222°-8x=205°-7x,
7x-8x=205°-222°,
-x=-17°,
x=17°.
Then m∠CAB=m∠CBA=205°-7x=86°.
Answer: 86°.

Hey there!
You can plug this into the slope equation to find the slope.
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Plug in two points. I chose (0,4) and (1,7).
m= (7-4)/(1-0)
m= (3)/(1)
m= 3
3 is your answer.
I hope this helps!

The height of parallelogram JKLM is 6.25 square feet. This is because the formula for the area of a parallelogram is base x height. So, since we have the base (14 feet), you simply divide the area (87.5 square feet) by the base, and get the final height (6.25 square feet. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
