Polygon abcd is a parallelogram, and m? abc = 127°. the length of is 10 units, and the length of is 5 units. the perimeter of the parallelogram is units, and m? bcd is °

Right ∆abc has coordinates a(-7, 3), b( -7, 10), and c(-1, 3). the triangle is reflected over the x - axis and then reflected again over the y - axis to create ∆a'b'c'. which are the coordinates of vertex a'?
