Question

27. In the adjacent figure, RUNS is a parallelogram Find x and y.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3cm and y = 13cm

Step-by-step explanation:

RUNS is a parallelogram and thus its diagonals bisect each other.

∴ x+y=16 ---- ( 1 )

and 7+y=20

∴ y=20−7

∴ y=13cm

Substituting y=13 in equation ( 1 ) we get,

⇒ x+13=16

⇒ x=16−13

∴ x=3cm

∴ x=3cm and y=13cm
