Question

The following figure $GUNS$ is a parallelogram. Find $x$ and$y$. (Lengths are in $cm$)

Answer 1

$SG=NU\&SN=GU$ {opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal}

$$\begin{gathered} 3x=18 \\ \therefore x=\frac{18}{3} \\ \Rightarrow x=6 \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} 3y–1=26 \\ \Rightarrow 3y=26+1 \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{27}{3} \\ =9 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the value of $x$ is $6,$ and $y$ is $9.$
