2) Find the value of a.
(4a-4)
(2a + 30)

Answer:
a = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadrilateral has two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel, so it is a parallelogram. Therefore, opposite angles are congruent. Set the measures of the angles equal and solve the equation for a.
4a - 4 = 2a + 30
2a = 34
a = 17
