Question

In parallelogram DEFG, DH = x + 1, HF = 3y, GH = 3x – 4, and HE = 5y + 1. Find the values of x and y. The diagram is not to scale.

Answer 1

Use the fact that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other to form two equations in x and y. Then solve these to find x and y.

Answer 2

thanks

Answer 3

yw :)

Answer 4

see acoording to the fact that diagonals bisect each other in a parallelogram,
DH=HF
x+1=3y
now similarly give me the other equation from GH=HE

Answer 5

u der?

Answer 6

ok so similarly,
3x-4=5y+1
so,
3x=5y+5
from the first equation
x=3y-1
therefore substituting in second equation u get,
9y-3=5y+5
4y=8
y=2
substitute y in any equation to get x,
x=3y-1
=6-1
x=5

Answer 7

understood?

Answer 8

@OSUxBucks15 got it?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

so u are gonna close the question nw rite?

Answer 11

yes
