Question

In the parallelogram below, find the measure of side TS and the measure of side TV. Enter your answers as numbers.

Answer 1

TS=17 ,TV=14.

Explanation:

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal.

TS=VW

Substituting the values given:

a+15=3a+11

Subtracting a both sides:

15=2a+11

Subtracting 11 both sides:

4=2a or a=2,TS=a+15=2+15=17.

TV=SW( opposite sides of parallelogram are equal)

3b+5=b+11 or 2b=6. or b=3.

TV= 3b+5=3(3)+5=9+5

TV= 14.

TV=14,TS=17.
