17.Therefore x=
and y=

18.Therefore x = 9 units and y = 10.5 units
19.Therefore
and y = 7 units
Explanation:
17.
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
So

⇒ y=

and sum of adjacent angle is =

Therefore,

⇒

⇒

⇒x=

Therefore x=
and y=

18.
The diagonals of rectangle bisect each other.
so, 2x=x+9
⇔2x- x=9
⇔x = 9 units
Again opposite sides are congruent.
So,3y -9 =y+12
⇔3y - y =12+9
⇔y
units =10.5 units
Therefore x = 9 units and y = 10.5 units
19.
[∵ they are transversal angles]
⇔

And opposite sides are equal
7y = 4y + 21
⇔7y - 4y = 21
⇔3y = 21
⇔y = 7 units
Therefore
and y = 7 units
