Algebra.Com's Answer #93061 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The coordinates of a parallelogram are (4,4),(5,7),(10,5) and (x,y) and x is greater than 10. What is the value of x+y? \n" ); document.write( "------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Graphing the three points will help you see that \n" ); document.write( "the missing point is (11,8) \n" ); document.write( "So the sum of x and y is 19. \n" ); document.write( "------------------------------ \n" ); document.write( "Notice that (10,5) is 6 to the right and 1 up from (4,4) \n" ); document.write( "So (x,y) has to be 6 to the right and 1 up from (5,7) \n" ); document.write( "------------------------ \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
