Question

What is the value of x and y in the parallelogram below?

x=

y=

Answer 1

• x = 7,
• y = 31.

--------------------------

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and congruent.

Set opposite sides equal and solve for unknowns:

• 4x - 4 = 24 ⇒ 4x = 28 ⇒ x = 7
• 2y - 4 = 58 ⇒ 2y = 62 ⇒ y = 31
