If quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, what are the correct values for x and y?

help please !!!

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

adjacent angles of a parallelogram add up to 180 degrees opposite angles of parallelogram are equal to each other opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal to each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are my possible answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 30, y = 3 x = 30, y = 2 x = 70, y = 2 x = 70, y = 3

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

from the rules I stated you can get x+40 = 100 - x and 5 - y = y + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 60 for the first one but its not one of my answer options :(

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

close :) but don't forget the other x x+40 = 100 - x add x to both sides +x +x so 2x + 40 = 100 then minus 40 from both sides -40 -40 2x = 60 then divide both sides by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay got it so x=30

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yes :) then try 5 - y = y + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im doing something wrong because I got 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it minus 5 ?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

it was the same mistake as before :) don't forget that you have to move the other "y" as well so 2y = 4 divide both sides by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so my answer is B THANK YOU (:

You're Welcome ^_^

Can you help me with this one lol

Which of these sentences is always true for a parallelogram? All sides are congruent. All angles are congruent. The diagonals are congruent. Opposite angles are congruent.

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

scroll up to my first comment, what did I say? :P or you can do process of ellimination All sides are congruent. -> square, not necessarily all parallelograms All angles are congruent. -> rectangle, not necessarily all parallelograms The diagonals are congruent. -> rectangles, not necessarily all parallelograms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its D

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you, Im taking a geometry class online & you were really helpful

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

I'm glad I could help :)
