Question

in the given parrallelogram ABCD find the value of x and y

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

in a parallelogram opposite angles are equal

so D = B = (2y - 5)

sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180

A + B = 180

3y + (2y - 5) = 180

5y - 5 = 180

5y = 180 + 5

5y = 185

y = 185/5

y = 36

B + C = 180

(2y - 5) + (3x + 3) = 180

put the value of y we got above:

(2 x 36 - 5) + 3x +3 = 180

(72 - 5) + 3x + 3 = 180

68 + 3x + 3 = 180

3x - 71 = 180

3x = 180 + 71

3x = 251

x = 251/3

x = 83.67
