![### Question 1 (1 point)
**For parallelogram ABCD, find the value of x.**
The diagram shows a parallelogram labeled as follows:
- The vertices are A, B, C, and D.
- The top side \( \overline{BC} \) is labeled \( 3x + 20 \).
- The bottom side \( \overline{AD} \) is labeled \( 5x - 12 \).
#### Options:
- a) 10.25
- b) 16
- c) 32
- d) 4
**Explanation:**
To determine the value of \( x \), utilize the property of parallelograms that states opposite sides are equal in length. Therefore,
\[ 3x + 20 = 5x - 12 \]
Solving this equation for \( x \) will provide the answer.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F89407d5b-0ad5-44b2-ba40-8c4c971ba9cf%2F3b67b320-21bc-4c81-b668-c28fe1c77ab5%2Fktdpx8_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)

Transcribed Image Text:**ABCD** is an isosceles trapezoid with vertices **A(10, -1)**, **B(8, 3)**, and **C(-1, 3)**. Find the coordinates of vertex **D**.
- **a.** \( D(-3, -1) \)
- **b.** \( D(-10, -11) \)
- **c.** \( D(-1, 8) \)
- **d.** \( D(-1, -3) \)
This problem presents an isosceles trapezoid where three vertices are given and asks for the coordinates of the fourth vertex. An isosceles trapezoid has one pair of non-parallel sides (legs) that are congruent.
