Problem 6
Step1: Use parallelogram side property
In parallelogram \(PQRS\), opposite sides are equal. So \(PS = QR\) and \(PQ = SR\). For \(PS\) and \(QR\): \(13x + 15 = 19x - 9\).
Step2: Solve for \(x\)
\(13x + 15 = 19x - 9\)
\(15 + 9 = 19x - 13x\)
\(24 = 6x\)
\(x = 4\).
Step3: Use parallelogram angle property
Adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary? No, wait, opposite angles are equal, and consecutive angles are supplementary. Wait, the angles given: \(\angle Q=(4y + 7)^\circ\) and \(\angle R=(10y - 37)^\circ\). In parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary? Wait, no, \(PQ \parallel SR\), so \(\angle Q\) and \(\angle R\) are consecutive? Wait, \(PQRS\): \(P - Q - R - S - P\). So \(PQ \parallel SR\), so \(\angle Q\) and \(\angle R\) are same - side interior angles, so they are supplementary? Wait, no, in parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and consecutive angles are supplementary. Wait, but also, \(\angle Q\) and \(\angle S\) are opposite, \(\angle P\) and \(\angle R\) are opposite. Wait, maybe the angles given are adjacent? Wait, the diagram: \(P\) to \(Q\) to \(R\) to \(S\) to \(P\). So \(\angle Q\) is at \(Q\), between \(P\) and \(R\); \(\angle R\) is at \(R\), between \(Q\) and \(S\). So \(PQ \parallel SR\), so \(\angle Q + \angle R = 180^\circ\)? Wait, no, in parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary. Wait, but also, if we consider that \(\angle Q\) and \(\angle R\) are consecutive, then \( (4y + 7)+(10y - 37)=180\)? Wait, no, maybe they are equal? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, in a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and consecutive angles are supplementary. Wait, but the angles given: \(\angle Q=(4y + 7)^\circ\) and \(\angle R=(10y - 37)^\circ\). Wait, maybe they are opposite? No, \(Q\) and \(S\) are opposite, \(R\) and \(P\) are opposite. Wait, maybe the angles are equal? Wait, no, maybe the problem has a typo, or maybe I misread. Wait, maybe the angles are equal? Let's check: \(4y + 7 = 10y - 37\)
\(7 + 37 = 10y - 4y\)
\(44 = 6y\)? No, that's not integer. Wait, maybe consecutive angles: \( (4y + 7)+(10y - 37)=180\)
\(14y - 30 = 180\)
\(14y = 210\)
\(y = 15\). Wait, but let's check with \(x = 4\), then \(PS = 13*4 + 15 = 52 + 15 = 67\), \(QR = 19*4 - 9 = 76 - 9 = 67\), which matches. Now for \(y\): if \(y = 15\), then \(\angle Q=(415 + 7)=67^\circ\), \(\angle R=(1015 - 37)=150 - 37 = 113^\circ\), and \(67 + 113 = 180\), which is correct for consecutive angles in parallelogram.
Step1: Use parallelogram angle property
In parallelogram \(ABCD\), \(AB \parallel CD\), so \(\angle B\) and \(\angle D\) are same - side interior angles? Wait, no, \(\angle B=(5x + 38)^\circ\) and \(\angle D=(8x - 19)^\circ\). In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal? Wait, no, \(\angle B\) and \(\angle D\): wait, \(ABCD\) is a parallelogram, so \(AB \parallel CD\) and \(AD \parallel BC\). So \(\angle B\) and \(\angle D\): no, \(\angle A=\angle C\), \(\angle B=\angle D\)? Wait, no, wait, \(A - B - C - D - A\). So \(\angle B\) and \(\angle D\) are opposite angles? Wait, no, \(\angle A\) and \(\angle C\) are opposite, \(\angle B\) and \(\angle D\) are opposite. Wait, but the diagram shows \(\angle B\) at \(B\) (between \(A\) and \(C\)) and \(\angle D\) at \(D\) (between \(A\) and \(C\)). Wait, no, \(AB \parallel CD\), so \(\angle B\) and \(\angle C\) are consecutive? Wait, no, the angles given: \(\angle B=(5x + 38)^\circ\) and \(\angle D=(8x - 19)^\circ\). In a parallelogram, \(\angle B=\angle D\)? Wait, no, that can't be. Wait, no, \(AB \parallel CD\), so \(\angle B\) and \(\angle C\) are supplementary, and \(\angle D\) and \(\angle C\) are supplementary, so \(\angle B=\angle D\). Wait, yes! In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal. So \(\angle B=\angle D\).
Step2: Solve for \(x\)
\(5x + 38 = 8x - 19\)
\(38 + 19 = 8x - 5x\)
\(57 = 3x\)
\(x = 19\).
Step3: Find \(m\angle B\)
\(m\angle B=5*19 + 38=95 + 38 = 133^\circ\).
Step4: Find \(m\angle C\)
In parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary. So \(\angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ\).
\(m\angle C=180 - 133 = 47^\circ\). Or, since \(\angle A=\angle C\), and \(\angle A\) and \(\angle B\) are supplementary. Wait, let's check with \(x = 19\), \(\angle D=8*19 - 19=152 - 19 = 133^\circ\), so \(\angle B=\angle D = 133^\circ\), then \(\angle C=180 - 133 = 47^\circ\).
- Parallelograms: In a general parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other but do not necessarily bisect the opposite angles. For example, in a rectangle (a type of parallelogram), the diagonals are equal and bisect each other, but they do not bisect the angles (unless it is a square).
- Rectangles: The diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other, but they do not bisect the angles (except in the case of a square). For example, in a rectangle with length \(l\) and width \(w\) (\(l
eq w\)), the diagonal will not split the angles into two equal parts.
- Rhombi: In a rhombus, all sides are equal. The diagonals of a rhombus bisect the opposite angles. This is a property of a rhombus: the diagonals act as angle - bisectors.
- Squares: A square is a special type of rhombus (and also a special type of rectangle). Since it is a rhombus, its diagonals bisect the opposite angles. Also, since it is a rectangle, its diagonals are equal and bisect each other.
