Answer:

In parallelogram ABCD, sides AB and CD both have the same measure, thus:

CD = 13.9

BC = 16.4

In parallelogram JKLM, sides JK and LM have the same length, thus:

y + 3 = 2y - 1

Subtracting y:

3 = y - 1

Adding 1:

y = 4

Thus, JK = y + 3 = 7

JK = 7

Also, sides KL and JM have the same length, thus:

3x + 5 = 4x

Subtracting 3x:

5 = x

x = 5

Thus KL = 3x- 5= 3*5 + 5

KL=20

Explanation:

Parallelograms

One of the properties of parallelograms is that the opposite sides have the same length.

In parallelogram ABCD, sides AB and CD both have the same measure

Also, sides BC and AD have the same length, thus:
