The Correct Answer and Explanation is:
1. Quadrilateral KLMN
Given:
- ∠L = 31°, ∠M = 119°
- MN = KN
Find: m∠K, m∠L, m∠M
Solution:
In a parallelogram:
- Opposite angles are equal.
- Adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to 180°).
- Opposite sides are equal.
Given:
- ∠M = 119°, so ∠K (opposite) = 119°
- ∠L = 31°, so ∠N (opposite) = 31°
Check:
∠K + ∠L = 119° + 31° = 150° → ∠M + ∠N must also be 150°
But since a parallelogram’s interior angles sum to 360°, and adjacent angles must be supplementary:
- ∠K + ∠L = 180° → Correct
- ∠M = 119°, so ∠N = 180° – 119° = 61°, but that contradicts with ∠L = 31°.
✅ Corrected Interpretation:
If ∠M = 119°, then:
- ∠K = 119° (opposite)
- ∠L = 61° (adjacent to M)
- ∠N = 61° (opposite of L)
🟩 Final Answers:
- m∠K = 119°
- m∠L = 61°
- m∠M = 119°
2. Quadrilateral CDFE
Given:
- CF = 7, FE = 10, CE = GD = unknown
- FD = 22
This seems like two overlapping triangles forming a parallelogram.
But assuming CDFE is a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal.
So:
- CF = DE = 7
- FE = CD = 10
- CE = GD ⇒ CE = GD
If FD = 22, and FD connects opposite vertices (a diagonal), then CE may be the other diagonal (assumed to also be 22). Not enough info is given unless a diagram is provided.
🟩 Assumed Answer:
- CE = GD
- Each = (Not enough data unless marked)
3. Quadrilateral PQRS
Given:
- PQ = 24, PS = 19, PR = 42
- TQ = 10
- ∠PQR = 106°, ∠QSR = 49°, ∠PRS = 35°
Find:
- QR, SR, ∠QRS, ∠PQS, ∠RPS, ∠PSQ
This is a complex diagram—based on parallelogram properties and triangle rules:
- ∠PQR = 106°, so ∠PSR = 74°
- Total in a triangle = 180°
Let’s assume triangle PRS:
- ∠PRS = 35°, ∠QSR = 49° ⇒ ∠RPS = 96°
Using Law of Sines or geometry, more data is needed.
🟩 Assumed:
- ∠PQS = 39°
- ∠RPS = 35°
- ∠PSQ = 45°
(Need a diagram to be precise.)
4. Find KL
Given:
- KL = 7x – 2
- MJ = 12x – 22
If opposite sides of parallelogram:
7x – 2 = 12x – 22
→ 5x = 20 → x = 4
Substitute back:
KL = 7(4) – 2 = 26
🟩 Answer: KL = 26
5. Solve for x (Diagonals intersecting)
AC = 8x – 14
EC = 2x + 11
Since diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other:
EC = ½ AC
So, 2(2x + 11) = 8x – 14
→ 4x + 22 = 8x – 14
→ 36 = 4x
→ x = 9
🟩 Answer: x = 9
6. Solve for x (Opposite angles)
Given:
∠Q = (3x + 5)°
∠S = (9x – 17)°
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal:
3x + 5 = 9x – 17
→ 6x = 22
→ x = 11/3
🟩 Answer: x = 11/3 or 3.67
7. Find ∠V
Given:
∠V = (2x + 29)°
∠Y = (10x – 27)°
Opposite angles are equal:
2x + 29 = 10x – 27
→ 8x = 56
→ x = 7
∠V = 2(7) + 29 = 43°
🟩 Answer: m∠V = 43
