Question

Question 8 (ii)
The following figures GUNS and RUNS are parallelograms. Find x and y. (Lengths are in cm)

Answer 1

(ii) In parallelogram RUNS,
$y+7=20$ [Diagonals of a parallelogram bisects each other]
$\Rightarrow y=20-7=13cm$
Similarly, $x+y=16cm\Rightarrow x+13=16\Rightarrow x=16-13$
$\Rightarrow x=3cm$
Hence, $x=3cm$ and $y=13cm$.
