Question

solve for x in the parallelogram below. u 10 v t x + 2 w a. 8 b. 12 c. 2 d. 20

Explanation:

Step1: Recall parallelogram property

In a parallelogram, opposite - sides are equal. So, $UV = TW$.

Step2: Set up the equation

We know that $UV = 10$ and $TW=x + 2$. Then the equation is $x+2=10$.

Step3: Solve the equation for x

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation: $x=10 - 2$.
$x = 8$

Answer:

A. 8
