Answer:

1 ) x = y = 9

2 ) x = 5, y = 25

3 ) x = 15, y = 9

4 x = 30, y = 15

Explanation:

1 )

The shape is parallelogram.

In parallelogram, alternate interior angles are equal.

9x and 45 are alternate interior angles.

So,

9x = 45

Divide 9 on both sides,

x = 45 / 9

x = 5

In square, opposite side lengths are equal.

2y = 18

Divide 2 on both sides,

y = 18 / 2

y = 9

2 )

The shape is parallelogram.

In parallelogram, the sum of adjacent angles are 180.

In parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.

5y and 55 are adjacent angles,

5y + 55 = 180

5y = 180 - 55

5y = 125

Divide 5 on both sides,

y = 125 / 5

y = 25

11x and 55 are opposite angles,

11x = 55

Divide 11 on both sides,

x = 55 / 11

x = 5

3 )

The shape is parallelogram.

In parallelogram, alternate interior angles are equal.

2x and 30 are alternate interior angles,

2x = 30

Divide 2 on both sides,

x = 30 / 2

x = 15

x + y and 24 are also alternate interior angles,

x + y = 24

15 + y = 24

y = 24 - 15

y = 9

4 )

The shape is a square.

Square is also a parallelogram.

All the four angles in a square are 90 and are equal.

So,

3x = 90


Divide, 3 on both sides,

x = 90 / 3

x = 60

6y = 90

Divide 6 on both sides,

y = 90 / 6

y = 15
