Answer:

B. 60

Explanation:

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and congruent.

This implies that:

|UV|=|XW|

From the diagram; |UV|=15

and
|XW|=(1)/(4)y

We equate the two side lengths to get:


15=(1)/(4)y

We multiply both sides by 4 to obtain:


4* 15=4* (1)/(4)y

This implies that:

y=60
