Answer:

Hello!

answer: a = 5

b = 8

Explanation:

since we are given 1 side of the parellogram we can use that to figure out the rest! parellograms will add up to 360 degrees since 1 angle is 115 that means the other will be 115 115 + 115 = 230

360 - 230 = 130 since there 2 angles across from each other they will both equal the same so 130 ÷ 2 = 65 so both of these angles will have to equal 65 because 65 + 65 + 115 + 115 = 360 a = 5 because 14 x 5 = 70 and 70 - 5 = 65 b = 8 because 8 x 8 = 64 and 64 + 1 = 65 Hope this helps you understand!
