Question

Given the Parallelogram below find the length of MH.

Answer 1

30

Explanation:

Parallelograms have two pairs of parallel sides, which, in the case of this figure, we see that
`\overline{AT}\cong\overline{MH}`. This means we set both parallel sides equal to each other and solve for b:

`12b=2b+25\\10b=25\\b=(25)/(10)=(5)/(2)`

Therefore,
`\overline{MH}=2((5)/(2))+25=5+25=30`
