Answer:

a = 28

b = 87

Explanation:

By definition, opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal. So we can set the two expressions equal and solve for a:

a - 10 = 18

a = 28

Also by definition, opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent. So set those two expressions equal and solve for b:

b + 16 = 103

b = 87

Hope this helps!
