Question 698496: if AD measures 6x-2 ft and BC measures 2x+22 ft. what is the value of x?
Answer by neatmath(302) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

In a parallelogram, opposite sides MUST be equal.

And in parallelogram ABCD, AD and BC are indeed opposite sides.

So just set them equal to each other and solve for x:

Thus, the value of x is 6.

We also now know that the length of both AD and BC is 34.

I hope this helps! Keep practicing! :)
