If UVWX is a parallelogram, what is the value of Y?
If UVWX is a parallelogram, what is the value of Y?
Answer: y=39
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given picture, In parallelogram UVWX,
UV=7, WX=7
VW=13
UX=\(\frac{1}{3}y\)
We know that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are always equal.
So for the given parallelogram UVWX,
UV=WX=7
and UX=VW
\(\Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}y=13\)
To solve for y, multiply 13 on the both sides , we get
\(y=13\times3\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=39\)
Hence, the value of y = 39
