Explanation:

Problem #4

Step1: Recall rectangle diagonals property

In a rectangle, diagonals are equal and bisect each other. So \( UD = 2 \times UB \) (since \( B \) is the midpoint of \( UD \) and also of \( QA \), and diagonals \( UD \) and \( QA \) are equal).
Set up the equation: \( 8x - 2 = 2(2x + 3) \)

Step2: Solve for \( x \)

Expand the right side: \( 8x - 2 = 4x + 6 \)
Subtract \( 4x \) from both sides: \( 4x - 2 = 6 \)
Add 2 to both sides: \( 4x = 8 \)
Divide by 4: \( x = 2 \)

Step3: Find \( UB \) length

Substitute \( x = 2 \) into \( UB = 2x + 3 \): \( UB = 2(2) + 3 = 7 \) cm

Step4: Find \( QA \) length

Since diagonals in a rectangle are equal and \( UD = QA \), and \( UD = 2 \times UB \), so \( QA = 2 \times 7 = 14 \) cm

Step1: Recall parallelogram side properties

In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal. So \( AB = CD \) and \( AD = BC \).
From \( AB = CD \): \( y + 8 = 5y \)
From \( AD = BC \): \( 4x^2 = 3y \) (wait, no, angle and side? Wait, \( AD \) and \( BC \) are sides, but also consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, and opposite angles are equal. Wait, first solve for \( y \) from \( AB = CD \):

Step2: Solve for \( y \)

\( y + 8 = 5y \)
Subtract \( y \): \( 8 = 4y \)
Divide by 4: \( y = 2 \)

Step3: Find side lengths

\( AB = y + 8 = 2 + 8 = 10 \), \( CD = 5y = 10 \)
\( BC = 3y = 6 \), \( AD \): Wait, also, consecutive angles: \( \angle D + \angle A = 180^\circ \), but \( \angle A = 4x^2 \) and \( \angle D = (2x - 6)^\circ \). Wait, no, in a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, so \( \angle A = \angle C \) and \( \angle B = \angle D \), and consecutive angles are supplementary. Wait, maybe I misread: \( AD \) has length \( 4x^2 \)? No, wait the diagram: \( AD \) is labeled with angle \( (2x - 6)^\circ \) and side? Wait, no, the side \( AD \) and \( BC \): Wait, the sides: \( AB = y + 8 \), \( BC = 3y \), \( CD = 5y \), \( DA \): maybe the angle is a typo? Wait, no, in a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal, so \( AB = CD \) (so \( y + 8 = 5y \)) and \( AD = BC \). Wait, the \( 4x^2 \) and \( (2x - 6)^\circ \): maybe \( AD \) has length related, but also angle \( \angle D = (2x - 6)^\circ \) and \( \angle A = 4x^2 \) (angle). In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary: \( \angle A + \angle D = 180^\circ \), and opposite angles are equal. Wait, first solve \( y \):

From \( AB = CD \): \( y + 8 = 5y \implies y = 2 \) (as before). Then \( AB = 10 \), \( CD = 10 \), \( BC = 3y = 6 \), so \( AD = BC = 6 \) (since opposite sides equal). Wait, but also check angles: \( \angle A = 4x^2 \), \( \angle D = (2x - 6)^\circ \), and \( \angle A + \angle D = 180^\circ \). But maybe \( 4x^2 \) is a side? Wait, no, the diagram: \( A \) to \( D \) is labeled \( 4x^2 \) (side length) and angle \( (2x - 6)^\circ \). Wait, maybe it's a typo, and \( AD = 3y \)? No, let's proceed with \( y = 2 \), so \( BC = 3(2) = 6 \), \( AB = 10 \).

Step4: Calculate perimeter

Perimeter of parallelogram is \( 2(AB + BC) = 2(10 + 6) = 32 \)

Step1: Recall parallelogram angle properties

In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary, and opposite angles are equal. We found \( y = 2 \), now solve for \( x \). From angle \( \angle A = 4x^2 \) and \( \angle D = (2x - 6)^\circ \), and \( \angle A + \angle D = 180^\circ \) (consecutive angles). Wait, but \( \angle B = \angle D \) (opposite angles). Wait, first, we know \( y = 2 \), so let's find \( x \). Wait, maybe \( 4x^2 \) is a side, but no, angle is in degrees. Wait, maybe the angle \( \angle D = (2x - 6)^\circ \) and \( \angle A = 4x^2 \) (angle), but that can't be. Wait, maybe it's \( \angle A = (2x - 6)^\circ \) and \( \angle D = 4x^2 \)? No, the diagram: \( A \) has \( 4x^2 \), \( D \) has \( (2x - 6)^\circ \). Wait, maybe it's a mistake, and \( AD \) length is \( 4x \) (not squared). Let's assume \( 4x \) instead of \( 4x^2 \) (typo). Then \( AD = BC = 3y = 6 \), so \( 4x = 6 \implies x = 1.5 \), but angle: \( \angle D = (2x - 6)^\circ = (3 - 6) = -3^\circ \), impossible. So maybe the angle is \( \angle A = (2x - 6)^\circ \) and \( \angle D = 4x^\circ \). Then \( \angle A + \angle D = 180^\circ \): \( 2x - 6 + 4x = 180 \implies 6x = 186 \implies x = 31 \). But this is confusing. Wait, original problem: \( ABCD \) is a parallelogram, with \( AB = y + 8 \), \( BC = 3y \), \( CD = 5y \), \( DA \): angle \( (2x - 6)^\circ \), and \( \angle A = 4x^\circ \) (maybe). Wait, no, the user's diagram: \( A \) has \( 4x^2 \) (maybe area? No, side). Wait, perhaps the angle is \( \angle D = (2x - 6)^\circ \) and \( \angle A = 4x^\circ \), and since \( \angle A = \angle C \), \( \angle B = \angle D \), and \( \angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ \). But we already found \( y = 2 \), so \( BC = 6 \), \( AB = 10 \). Now, for angles: in a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, so \( \angle A = \angle C \), \( \angle B = \angle D \). Also, consecutive angles are supplementary. So \( \angle A + \angle D = 180^\circ \). If \( \angle A = 4x \) and \( \angle D = (2x - 6) \), then \( 4x + 2x - 6 = 180 \implies 6x = 186 \implies x = 31 \). Then \( \angle B = \angle D = 2(31) - 6 = 56^\circ \). Wait, but maybe the \( 4x^2 \) is a typo. Alternatively, maybe the side \( AD = 4x \) and \( BC = 3y \), and angle \( \angle D = (2x - 6)^\circ \). Since \( AD = BC = 6 \) (from \( y = 2 \), \( 3y = 6 \)), so \( 4x = 6 \implies x = 1.5 \), then \( \angle D = 2(1.5) - 6 = -3^\circ \), invalid. So perhaps the angle is \( \angle D = (2x + 6)^\circ \), then \( 2(1.5) + 6 = 9^\circ \), still small. This is confusing. Wait, maybe the original problem has \( AD = 4x \) (not squared) and angle \( \angle D = (2x - 6)^\circ \), and since \( AD = BC = 3y = 6 \), then \( 4x = 6 \implies x = 1.5 \), and \( \angle D = 2(1.5) - 6 = -3 \), which is impossible. So maybe the angle is \( \angle A = (2x - 6)^\circ \) and \( \angle D = 4x^\circ \), and \( \angle A = \angle C \), \( \angle B = \angle D \), \( \angle A + \angle B = 180 \). Then \( 2x - 6 + 4x = 180 \implies 6x = 186 \implies x = 31 \), so \( \angle B = \angle D = 4(31) = 124^\circ \)? Wait, no, \( \angle B = \angle D \), and \( \angle A + \angle D = 180 \). If \( \angle A = 2x - 6 \), \( \angle D = 4x \), then \( 2x - 6 + 4x = 180 \implies 6x = 186 \implies x = 31 \), so \( \angle D = 124^\circ \), so \( \angle B = 124^\circ \)? No, consecutive angles: \( \angle A \) and \( \angle B \) are consecutive, so \( \angle A + \angle B = 180 \). Wait, I'm overcomplicating. Wait, the problem says "Determine the \( m\angle B \)". In a parallelogram, \( \angle B = \angle D \) (opposite angles), and \( \angle…
