If quadrilateral WXYZ is a parallelogram, the opposite sides will be equal, in length from which the value of x will satisfy the two equations.
Response:
- WXYZ can be a parallelogram with one pair of sides measuring 15 mm and the other pair measuring 9 mm.
How can the option that best indicates if WXYZ can be a parallelogram be obtained?
Properties of a parallelogram
The length of the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal, which gives;
2·x - 5 = x + 2
2·x - x = 2 + 5
Similarly, we have;
x + 8 = 15
x = 15 - 8 = 7
The lengths of the opposite sides are therefore;
2·x - 5 = 2 × 7 - 5 = 9 and x + 8 = 15
The option that indicates if WXYZ is a parallelogram is therefore;
- WXYZ can be a parallelogram with one pair of sides measuring 15 mm and the other pair measuring 9 mm.
