Question

Figure ABCD is a parallelogram.

Parallelogram A B C D is shown. The length of A B is 4 y minus 2, the length of B C is 2 x + 2, the length of D C is 2 y + 6, and the length of A D is 3 x minus 1.

What is the perimeter of ABCD?

14 units
38 units
44 units
49 units

Answer 1

44 units

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 44 units

Explanation:

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal, hence sides

AB = DC

4y-2 = 2y+6

2y=8

y=4

and

BC = AD

2x+2=3x-1

x=3

AB = 4Y-2

y=4

AB=14

BC=2x+2

x=3

BC=8

Perimeter = 2 X (AB + BC)

= 2 X (14+8)

= 44
