Question

Find the values of x and y so that ABCD will be a parallelogram

Answer 1

I have the answer to x and y but I don't know how my teacher did it. I've been on this question forever and I have to know it by tomorrow because I have a test on it

Answer 2

is there a picture ?

Answer 3

I don't know how to post pictures on this

Answer 4

make a screen shot
then use "attach file" (see button below the input box)

Answer 5

I don't see that. I took the picture on my phone and I don't see the button

Answer 6

Here is what it looks like, if you use a computer

Answer 7

maybe you can try to explain the problem?
I assume they labeled the 4 angles in the figure ?
If so, you know its a parallelogram if "opposite" angles are equal

Answer 8

I'm going to switch to a computer hold on

Answer 9

there it is

Answer 10

ok, you need to know ABCD is a parallelogram if opposite sides are equal

Answer 11

and that leads to (by side-side-side) the two triangles are congruent (but flipped) if that makes sense

we then use "corresponding parts of congruent triangles" to know
4x = 24
and y -10= 32

Answer 12

in other words it takes quite a bit of "thinking" to follow the logic:
