Question

Find the value of x and y in the parallelogram below.

Answer 1

x=4 and y = 12

Explanation:

A diagonal of a parallelogram cuts the other diagonal in exactly 2 equal parts. So, we can say that x+12 = 16. That would give us x=4. And, we can say that 3y-14 = 22. If we solve for y, we get y = 12.
