WXYZ Is A ParallelogramFind The Value Of A A What Is The Length Of WX WX class=

Sagot :

It is given that the queadrilateral WXYZ is a parallelogram.

By the property of parallelogram the opposite sides are equal length so it follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6a+10=8a-4 \\ 8a-6a=10+4 \\ 2a=14 \\ a=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence the value of a is 7.

The length WX is given by:

[tex]WX=6a+10=6(7)+10=52[/tex]

Hence a=7 units and WX=52 units.
