Answer:
1.
2. 29cm
3. ∠B = ∠D = 99°, ∠A = ∠C = 81°
4. x = 6cm, y = 4cm, DF = 20cm, EG = 16cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
2.
3. In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent; hence, ∠B = ∠D.
∠B = 4(21) + 15 = 99°
∠D = 6(21) – 27 = 99°
Also, consecutive angles are supplementary (their sum is equal to 180).
∠A + ∠B = 180
∠A = 180 – 99 = 81°
∠C = ∠A = 81°
4. In a parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other.
(Eq. 1)
(Eq. 2)
Solve for x using either substitution or elimination. The variable y can be eliminated by adding the two equations.
After determining the values of x and y, find the length of DC and CG.
(Actually, there is no need to solve for DC and CG because it is equal to CF and CE, respectively.)
The lengths of the diagonals are
