Points (3,1) and (8,1) are on the horizontal line with y=1, 8-3=5 units apart.
Points (6,5) and (k,5) are on the horizontal line with y=5, parallel to y=1.
In a parallelogram, sides that are parallel are congruent,
so the distance between (6,5) and (k,5) must also be 5.
Either k=6+5=11, or k=6-5= .
