Question

Solve for x and find AB
Solve for y and find BX

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• x = 7; AB = 30
• y = 5; BX = 25

Explanation:

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are the same length.

AB = CD

5x -5 = 3x +9

2x = 14

x = 7

AB = 5(7) -5)

AB = 30

__

The diagonals of a parallelogram are bisected by each other.

XB = XD

7y -10 = 5y

2y = 10

y = 5

BX = 7(5) -10

BX = 25
