Question

Help please

Answer 1

What do you know so far?

Answer 2

Nothing thaats why I need help

Answer 3

I'm not some homework robot, handing out answers. Tell me what you know about parallelograms that might help you figure out Part I. That's a good place to start.

Answer 4

Well for the first part I think it is 'ccongruent'

Answer 5

That will get us started, yes. Opposite sides of this kind of figure are congruent.
What is something that is true about two congruent line segments?

Answer 6

Umm They are equal to each other

Answer 7

Exactly! So, you see the two sides AB and CD are labeled with their lengths, correct?
(But, to make our lives difficult, the lengths are labeled by expressions instead of "2 meters" or something useful.) And since you just told me the sides are equal to each other, you should be able to write an equation for Part II.
With me so far?

Answer 8

Yes I am

Answer 9

Sorry I was doing something

Answer 10

I was also doing something. Show me your equation when you get back to this?

Answer 11

5x+2=8x-7

Answer 12

Exactly. Did you solve for 'x' ?

Answer 13

I figure you are on track now! Post here if you need some more help and I'll check back later today.

Answer 14

Well I did the equation and it isn't equal

Answer 15

5x+2=8x-7 do you can solve it for x ?

Answer 16

subtract from both sides 5x and will get

2 = 3x -7 now add to both sides 7 and will get

9 = 3x divide both sides by 3 and will get for x

x=3

do you understand it now ?

Answer 17

@zarkam21 are you here please ?

Answer 18

so now just substitute the value of x in place of x and will get the length of side of paralellogramm - ok. ?

Answer 19

I am here

Answer 20

@jhonyy9 is the correct answer 9?

Answer 21

no

5*3+2=17

8*3-7=17

17 is the length of these sides of parallelorgamm
