Answer :- x = 3 and y = 13
Given :- RUNS is a parallelogram
RN and SU are the diagonal of parallelogram RUNS
Let us consider point of intersection of diagonal be O
SO = 20 cm
RO = 16 cm
NO = x + y
UO = y + 7
We need to find :- x and y
Explanation :-
RUNS is a parallelogram
We known, diagonal of parallelogram bisect each other
Therefore, SO = OU = 20 cm
RO = ON = 16 cm
y + 7 = 20 [ Diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other therefore, SO = OU]
y = 20 - 7
y = 13
Substituting y = 13 in x + y = 16
x + y = 16
x + 13 = 16
x = 16 - 13
x = 3
To verify whether the value of x and y are true let substitute in the both equation
We known known that y + 7 = 20
y = 13
13 + 7 = 20
We also known that y = 13 and x = 3
x + y = 16
3 + 13 = 16
