Question

Figure JKLM is a parallelogram. What is the value of x?A.55° B.45° C.35° D.65°

Answer 1

From the image we will find x as follows:

We can see that one o the angles in the same triangle as x has a measure of 90°, and the complementary angle has to be 90°, so the missing side (That will be right besides x) has a measurement of 70°.

Since the shape is a parallelogram we will have the following:

`70+x=125`

Now, we solve for x:

`\Rightarrow x=55`

So, the measurement of x is 55°.
