Question

Find the value of x in the parallelogram below.

Answer 1

x = 25

y = 6

Explanation:

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.

2x and 50 are opposite angles,

2x = 50

Divide 2 on both sides,

x = 50 / 2

x = 25

In a parallelogram opposite sides are equal.

y + 5 and 11 are opposite sides,

y + 5 = 11

y = 11 - 5

y = 6

Answer 2

x=25

y=6

Explanation:

from the diagram,

2x= 50(opposite angles of a parallelogram)

2x= 50

dividing bothsides by 2

2x/2=50/2

x= 25

then,

y+5=11(opposite sides of a parallelogram)

y= 11-5

y= 6
