A carpenter cut the top section of a window frame with a 37-degree angle on each end. the side pieces each have a 50 degree single cut at their top sides. Will the side pieces of the frame be parallel?

no, in order for the sides to be parallel, same side interior angles should be supplementary... in your diagram, (50+37) + (50+37) = 174
is that right?
umm, I need the answer..like now
50-37=13
Take 13 and add 90 you get 103
Subtract 50 from 103 you get 63
Subtract 37 from 103 and you get 66
66-63= 3
Your answer is 3

No, the side pieces of the frame are not parallel. According to page 165 of the Geometry textbook, in order for the sides to be parallel, each side has to add up to 90 degrees. Instead, they add to 87, which is molding, not parallel.
