Question

LMNO is a parallelogram. If NM = x + 15 and OL = 3x + 5 find the value of x and then find NM and OL.

Answer 1

x = 5 unit

NM = 20 unit

OL = 20 unit

Explanation:

Given:

LMNO is parallelogram

NM = x + 15

OL = 3x + 5

Find:

x and NM and OL

So,

NM = OL

x + 15 = 3x + 5

2x = 10

x = 5

So,

NM = x + 15 = 5 + 15 = 20

OL = 3x + 5 =3(5)+5 = 20
