Question

Find the value of p in parallelogram UVWX.

V
W
4p-12
P =
X
7p-11
8p-20
U

Answer 1

p = 9

Explanation:

In a parallelogram

• opposite sides are congruent (equal ) , then

UX = VW ( substitute values )

8p - 20 = 7p - 11 ( subtract 7p from both sides )

p - 20 = - 11 ( add 20 to both sides )

p = 9
