Though, ABCD is a rectangular, so that AD=BC, And CM=2, Again AD=2 so that, BC = 2 becaouse According to rectangular formula AD=BC, BM=2+2=4 henceb=4
Answer is 4

Parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides.
In this case AB=DC (or AD=BC), this means that
from point A to point B, which is b-2 is equal to point D to C, which is 2-0
So, b-2 = 2-0
Hence b = 4
