Question

A quadrilateral is shown. One pair of opposite sides have lengths of 10 inches and (x + 2) inches. The other pair of opposite sides have lengths (x + 5) inches and (2 x minus 3) inches. Based on the measures shown, could the figure be a parallelogram? Yes, one pair of opposite sides could measure 10 in., and the other pair could measure 13 in. Yes, one pair of opposite sides could measure 10 in., and the other pair could measure 8 in. No, there are three different values for x when each expression is set equal to 10. No, the value of x that makes one pair of sides congruent does not make the other pair of sides congruent.

Answer 1

Answer: A) Yes, one pair of opposite sides could measure

10 in., and the other pair could measure 13 in.

Answer 2

1st option

Explanation:

since one pair of opposite sides 10 in , then

x + 2 = 10 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = 8

Then

x + 5 = 8 + 5 = 13 in

2x - 5 = 2(8) - 5 = 16 - 5 = 13 in

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and congruent.

So the quadrilateral could be a parallelogram
