Question

What are the values of U and V? Please show all work on how you got your answer

Answer 1

u = 4

v = 18

Explanation:

As with your other parallelogram problems, the diagonals bisect each other, so the two halves are equal length.

2u +2 = 5u -10

2 = 3u -10 . . . . . . subtract 2u from both sides

12 = 3u . . . . . . . . add 10 to both sides

4 = u . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 3

__

6 = v/3

18 = v . . . . . . . . multiply both sides by 3
