Question is Incomplete,Complete question is given below;

Figure ABCD is a parallelogram.

What are the lengths of line segments AB and BC?

AB = 4; BC = 16

AB = 4; BC = 8

AB = 10; BC = 20

AB = 10; BC = 28

Answer:

AB = 10 ;BC =28.

Explanation:

The Diagram is missing in the question we have attached the diagram for your reference.

Given:

AB =
3y -2

DC =
y+6

BC =
x+12

AD =
2x-4

We need to find the lengths of AB and BC.

Solution:

Since given that Figure ABCD is a parallelogram.

"The opposite side of parallelogram are equal."

Hence we can say that;

AB = DC

Substituting the value we get;


3y-2=y+6

Combining the like terms we get;


3y-y=6+2\\\\2y =8

Dividing both side by 2 we get;


(2y)/(2)=(8)/(2)  \\\\y=4

Now AB =
3y -2 =3* 4-2 =12-2 =10

Also

BC = AD

Substituting the value we get;


x+12=2x-4

Combining the like terms we get;


2x-x=12+4\\\\x =16

Now BC =
x+12 =16+12 =28

Hence AB = 10 and BC =28.
