Question

Parallelogram Property: opposite sides are congruent

Solve for x.

Answer 1

Value of x = 19

Explanation:

We know that in a parallelogram opposite sides are congruent.

So, in the given parallelogram side LM ≅ side NO

So, we can write
`2x+2=40`

Solving the equation to find value of x

`2x+2=40\\2x=40-2\\2x=38\\x=(38)/(2)\\x=19`

So, value of x = 19
