Question

If ABCD is a parallelogram, BC =3m + 10, and AD = 7m – 2, find the value of ‘m’. *

Answer 1

The value of m is 3

Explanation:

We are given that ABCD is a parallelogram

Property of parallelogram : Opposite sides of parallelogram is equal

So, AB = CD and BC = AD

We are given that

BC =3m + 10

AD = 7m – 2

So, Using Property

BC=AD

3m+10=7m-2

12=4m

`(12)/(4)=m`

3=m

Hence The value of m is 3
