Question

Quadrilateral LMNO is a parallelogram, and LM=24-9 and NO=y-2, find the value of "y" and the length of NO.

Answer 1

y = 7

NO = 5

Explanation:

Let the side of the parallelogram LM and NO given be 2y - 9 and y - 2

Since LMNO is a parallelogram, hence;

LM = NO

2y - 9 = y - 2

2y - y = -2 + 9

y = 7

Since NO = y - 2

NO = 7 - 2

NO = 5
