In the given parallelogram ABCD, find the value of x and y​

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The consecutive angles are supplementary, sum to 180° , then

3y + 2y - 5 = 180

5y - 5 = 180 ( add 5 to both sides )

5y = 185 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 37

Then ∠ A = 3y = 3 × 37 = 111

The opposite angles are congruent , then

3x + 3 = 111 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

3x = 108 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 36

(b)

The diagonals bisect each other , so

x + 8 = 16 - x ( add x to both sides )

2x + 8 = 16 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4

and

5y + 4 = 2y + 13 ( subtract 2y from both sides )

3y + 4 = 13 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

3y = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 3

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

gmt is 4 hrs ahead of edt so just add four hours to 1: 14: 20 (minutes and seconds stay the same)

gmt is 5: 14: 20

hope this !
