Look at the quadrilateral in the diagram below.

What is the value of x if the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram?

To find the values of $x$ and $y$ for the parallelogram ABCD, we use the property that opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

1. Opposite sides AB and DC must be equal, therefore:

x = 15

2. Opposite sides AD and BC must also be equal, therefore:

y = 7

Thus, the values of the unknowns that make ABCD a parallelogram are $x = 15$ and $y = 7$ .

This corresponds to choice 1: $x = 15, y = 7$ .

x=15 , y=7
