Question

ABCD is a parallelogram. Calculate the value of x and y (diagram attached)​

Answer 1

Answer: x=35 and y=14

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that consecutive or adjacent angles are supplementary

⇒ 3x+5+2x=180°

⇒ 5x= 180-5

⇒ 5x= 175

⇒$x=\frac{175}{5}$

∴ x=35

substituting the value of x in 3x+5

3×35+5= 110

we know that the adjacent angles are supplementary

3x+5+5y=180

110+5y=180

5y=180-110

5y= 70

y=70/5

∴ y= 14
