Question

What is the value of y in the parallelogram below?KL5yº65°

Answer 1

The given figure is a parallelogram. In a parallelogram, the opposite angles are equal. This means that

angle L = angle J

angle I = angle K

Also, the sum of the consecutive angles is 180 degrees

Angle A and angle I are consecutive angles. Thus,

5y + 65 = 180

5y = 180 - 65 = 115

y = 115/5

y = 23

Option A is correc
