Question

The given figure is a parallelogram. Find the value of x and y

Answer 1

x = 2, y = 3.

Explanation:

As it is a parallelogram opposite sides are equal so we have the equations:

3y = 9

y = 3.

2x + 4 = 8

2x = 4

x = 2.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal

2x + 4 = 8 {Subtract 4 form both sides}

2x + 4 - 4 = 8 - 4

2x = 4 {divide both sides by 2}

2x/2 = 4/2

x = 2

3y = 9 {Divide both sides by 3}

3y/3 = 9/3

y = 3
