Given:

Figure of a parallelogram.

To find:

The values of x and y.

Solution:

If two parallel lines intersected by a transversal line, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.


4x=24 (Alternate interior angles)


x=(24)/(4)


x=6

And,


y-10=32 (Alternate interior angles)


y=32+10


y=42

The value of x is 6 and the value of y is 42.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
