The opposite sides of parallelogram are equal in length, so we can infer that :

  • BC = AD

now, let's solve for value of x :


  • 9x - 4 = 6x + 14


  • 9x - 6x = 14 + 4


  • 3x = 18


  • x = 18 / 3


  • x = 6

we have to find the measure of AD,


  • 6x + 14

Plugging the value of x as 6 :


  • (6 * 6) + 14


  • 36 + 14


  • 50

The Correct option is D. 50

Parallel sides of parallelogram are equal in length


\\ \sf\longmapsto AD=BC


\\ \sf\longmapsto 6x+14=9x-4


\\ \sf\longmapsto 9x-6x=14+4


\\ \sf\longmapsto 3x=18


\\ \sf\longmapsto x=6

AD=6x+14=6(6)+14=36+14=50

Option D
