Answer:

x = 55, y = 14

Step-by-step explain

it is X = 55, y = 14

Because i said so... Now deal with it :)

Answer:

The correct option is:

x=55 , y = 14

Explanation:

We know about the following features of a parallelogram:

  • Opposite sides are parallel
  • Opposite side have equal length
  • Opposite angles are equal
  • Sum of all angles is 360°

For the parallelogram LMNO, <L and <N are opposite angles, <M and <O are opposite angles.

Are opposite angles are equal.

<M = <O

3x - 55 = 2x

3x - 2x = 55

x = 55

So

<M = 3x - 55 = 110°

<O = 2x = 110°

We know that the sum of angles is 360°

<L + <M + <N + <O = 360°

<L + <N + 110° + 110° = 360°

As <L and <N are opposite, both are equal. hence <L = <M = 5y

5y + 5y + 220° = 360°

10y + 220° = 360°

y = 14
