Homework Help: Geometry PARALLELOGRAM question?

Posted by Alexandria on Sunday, January 8, 2012 at 12:06pm.

If ON=8x-8, LM=7x+4, NM=x-5, and OL=3y-6,
find the values of x and y for which LMNO must
be a parallelogram.
{O is on the left, N is on top right, L is on bottom left
and M is on bottom right}

Thank You :)

For a parallelogram, opposite sides must be equal.

ON = LM
8x-8 = 7x+4
x = 12

OL = NM
3y-6 = x-5
3y-6 = 12-5 = 7
3y = 13
y = 13/3
