Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve the problems step by step.
1. Parallelogram :
We are asked to find the values of , , and for this parallelogram.
- Angle properties of a parallelogram: Opposite angles are equal, and adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to 180°).
Given that , we can deduce the following:
- (since opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal). Therefore, .
- (adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary), so: Thus, .
Now, because (opposite angles), we have:
- .
Summary of results:
2. Parallelograms and :
(i) Parallelogram :
We are given:
- and
- and
Since opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal:
- , so: Solving for :
- , so:
Results for (i):
- cm
- cm
(ii) Parallelogram :
We are given:
- ,
- ,
Since diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, the diagonals divide into equal parts, so:
- , implying: Simplifying, we get:
Since this is the only unknown provided, the value of is .
Result for (ii):
Summary of Solutions:
- , ,
- (i) cm, cm (ii)
