Question 37 of 99 • EAP-Algebra Functions and Data Analysis B
Quadrilateral W X Y Z is shown. The length of W X is (x + 8) millimeters, the length of X Y is (2 x minus 5) millimeters, the length of Z Y is 15 millimeters, and the length of W Z is (x + 2) millimeters.
Answer
A
WXYZ can be a parallelogram with one pair of sides measuring 15 mm and the other pair measuring 9 mm.
B
WXYZ can be a parallelogram with one pair of sides measuring 15 mm and the other pair measuring 7 mm.
C
WXYZ cannot be a parallelogram because there are three different values for x when each expression is set equal to 15.
D
WXYZ cannot be a parallelogram because the value of x that makes one pair of sides congruent does not make the other pair of sides congruent.
