Question

If the figure below is a parallelogram, find x and y​

Answer 1

x=79, y=101

Explanation:

In a paralleogram, adjacent angles on a side add up to 180 so 101+x=180 so x=79

x+y=180 because they are also on an adjacent side so

79+y=180

y=101

Answer 2

x = 79, y = 101

Explanation:

Consecutive angles are supplementary, then

x + 101 = 180 ( subtract 101 from both sides )

x = 79

Opposite angles are congruent, then

y = 101
