Algebra.Com's Answer #618582 by KMST(5328)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Points (3,1) and (8,1) are on the horizontal line with y=1, 8-3=5 units apart. \n" ); document.write( "Points (6,5) and (k,5) are on the horizontal line with y=5, parallel to y=1. \n" ); document.write( "In a parallelogram, sides that are parallel are congruent, \n" ); document.write( "so the distance between (6,5) and (k,5) must also be 5. \n" ); document.write( "Either k=6+5=11, or k=6-5= \n" ); document.write( " |
