If F is the mid point of EG and EF = 3x and EG = 5x + 7,then EF=21.

Given that F is the mid point of EG and EF = 3x and EG = 5x + 7.

We are required to find the length of EF.

Mid point is the point which divides the line or line segment into two equal parts.

Because F is the mid point of EG so EG=2*EF

Using the expressions of EG and EF in the equation above.

5x+7=2*3x

5x+7=6x

x=7

EF=3*7

EF=21

Hence if F is the mid point of EG and EF = 3x and EG = 5x + 7,then EF=21.

zlopas [31]

Answer:

h = 3.62

Step-by-step explanation:

First, as both triangles have the same angles we can use the relationship of areas and sides corresponding to similar triangles as follows:

$relation\ between\ areas=( relation\ between\ sides)^2\\\frac{0.7A}{A}=(\frac{s}{5})^2\\s= 5\sqrt0.7= 4.18$

Now we know that the new triangle has sides of 4.18. Then, as these triangles are equilateral we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height:

$4.18^2=h^2+(\frac{4.18}{2})^2\\h=\sqrt (4.18^2-2.09^2)=3.62 m\\h= 3.62$

Finally the height of this new triangle is 3.62 cm
