Question

Find M angle W in a parallelogram rstw 2x - 1 x + 16

Answer 1

As shown in the image:

m < W = 2x - 1

m < S = x + 16

The angles W and S are opposite angles

The opposite angles of the parallelogram are congruent

so, W = S

So,

2x - 1 = x + 16

solve for x

2x - x = 16 + 1

x = 17

so, m < w = 2x - 1 = 2 * 17 - 1 = 33

the answer is option G. 33
