Answer 1

1) 180-50=130. Opposite interior angles equal 180 for parallelograms.

2) Diagnols  of parallelograms bisect each other so JL is twice half of it, or 16.

3) Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent so 5x-2=4x+1 which is x=3.

17)If opposite interior angles supplementary, then parallel lines.

Answer 2

You have to break it down. Look at the different shapes within the parallelogram. There are triangles there. You should have an equation to find the sides of a triangle. As you find each side you can add different lengths together to get what you want. Sorry I&#039;m not more help. I haven&#039;t been in geometry for a while and I can&#039;t remember the equations. It was the math that I was best at though.
