Question

How do I find EF in the parallelogram DEFG?

Answer 1

36

Explanation:

Ef is equal to gd

so 2u－36＝u

＋36 ＋36

so 2u＝u＋36

－u －u

so u＝36

hope this helps

Answer 2

EF = 36

Explanation:

FE and GD are congruent

2u - 36 = u

subtract 2u from both sides (-36 = -u)

divide each side by -1 ( u = 36)

now that you know the value of u plug it into the equation 2u -36

the equation is now 2(36)-36

2 times 36 equals 72

now do 72 - 36 and you get 36

that is the value of line segment EF
