In triangle FGH, GJ is an angle bisector of ∠G and perpendicular to FH.
1 answer:
The picture in the attached figure
we know that
If line GJ bisects the angle FGH, that means we also know that the angle FGH is divided into two equal sizes.
Now, we have
Angle FGJ = Angle HGJ
Angle GJF = Angle GJH
This information means that angle GHJ = angle GFJ
We have two congruent right-angled triangle
We can then further deduce that
Side GF = Side GH
Since triangle FGJ and triangle GJH are congruent,
then
side FJ equals to side JH
3x-8=16
3x=16+8
3x=24
x=8 units
Hence,
the length of FH = 2×8=16 units
the answer is
FH=16 units

Answer:
9.4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
5^2+8^2 = c^2
25 +64 = c^2
89 = c^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(89) = sqrt(c^2)
9.433981132 = c
To the nearest tenth

Hi there! :)
4x=-36
Divide both sides by 4 in order to isolate x:
x=-9
Hope this helps you and have a nice day!
