Question

Given parallelogram CASE, CE = x + 23, and AS = 2x + 10, find CE

Answer 1

CE = 36

Explanation:

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent , then

AS = CE , substitute values

2x + 10 = x + 23 ( subtract x from both sides )

x + 10 = 23 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

x = 13

Then

CE = x + 23 = 13 + 23 = 36
