qudrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram of both pairs of opposite sides are congruent. prove the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram by finding the length (in centimeters) of the opposite side pairs


For parallelograms, both pairs of opposite sides are equal in length
Therefore,
side AB = side CD
and side AD = side BC
For the first pair of sides
AB = CD
44 + 3x = 64 - x
3x + x = 64 - 44
4x = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
For the second pair of sides
AD = BC
48 - 2y = 33 + y
-2y -y = 33 - 48
-3y = -15
y = -15/-3
y = 5
AB = 44 + 3x = 44 + 3(5)
AB = 44 + 15
AB= 59 cm
BC = 33 + y
BC = 33 + 5
BC = 38 cm
The answer is 59cm , 38 cm
