Question

17. For the parallelogram find the value of the variables. Show your work.

18. What is the length of the second base of a trapezoid is the length of one base is 24 and the length of the midsegment is 19? Show your work

Answer 1

24=3y-6 => 30=3y, y=10,

12 = 5x+2 => 10=5x, x =2

Basically parallel sides must have the same length (parallelogram)

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

24=3y-6= 30=5x, y=30
12=5x+2 = 10=5x x=2
