What is GE ? Enter your answer in the box.
1 answer:
The length of GE is 10 units
Explanation:
Given that the length of XY = 5 units and YZ = 4.6 units
<u>The length of GE:</u>
We need to determine the length of GE
From the figure, we can see that ZY bisects GE and XY bisects EF.
The lines ZY and XY both bisect GF.
The midpoint theorem states that "the line segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is congruent to one half of the third side".
Since, we have,
EX = XF and X is the midpoint of EF
GY = YF and Y is the midpoint of GF
Since, XY is the line segment that connects the midpoints of the two sides of the triangle.
Applying the midpoint theorem, we have,
Thus, the length of GE is 10 units.

Answer:
Step 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Leonardo is solving the equation 4 (x minus one-fifth) = 2 and two-thirds. His work is shown. Where is his error?
Given :
4(x - 1/5) = 2 2/3
Open the bracket
4x - 4/5 = 2 2/3
Add 4/5 to both sides
4x - 4/5 + 4/5 = 8/3 + 4/5
Lcm of 3 and 5 = 15
4x = (40 + 12) / 15
4x = 40/15 + 12/15
4x = 52/15
Multiply by 1/4
4x * 1/4 = 52/15 * 1/4
x = 52 / 60
x = 13 / 15
Hence, the error is in step 3
15/5 * 3 = 12
