What is the value of y in the parallelogram below? If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.
teach me please
I got you! Ok, this one is a bit tricky, but we can get there! First we need to be aware of 2 very important things with this parallelogram: 1. all the angle measures add up to 360 degrees, and 2. that opposite angles are congruent and consecutive are supplementary. Congruent means equal, and consecutive are right next to each other, and supplementary means that they add up to 180. So in the case of our parallelogram, we know two things. 112 = 2x + 32 (because they are opposite one another) and that 4y + 112 = 180. So let's solve for y since that's what you need to know. Subtract 112 from both sides and get 68, divide it by 4 to solve for y and you get that y = 17. Now, if you had to, you could find the missing angle because you know 3 of the 4 and they add up to 360. See?
i didn't notice you responded to me haha okay hold up, and lemme read what you said
could you do me a favor?:o and teach me step by step on how to find it?
i read all of it and i kinda got lost :/
