Question

5. Refer to the figure below. (show work)

Given: UVWX is a parallelogram, m A. Find m B. Find UV.
C. Find m D. Find YW.

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

A

∠ UVX and ∠ WXV are alternate angles and are congruent , then

∠ UVX = ∠ WXV = 15°

∠ WVU = ∠ WVX + ∠ UVX = 24° + 15° = 39°

B

opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent , then

UV = XW = 36

C

consecutive angles are supplementary , sum to 180° , then

∠ XUV + ∠ WVU = 180° , so

∠ XUV + 39° = 180° ( subtract 39° from both sides )

∠ XUV = 141°

D

diagonals bisect each other , so

YW = UY = 10
