ABC is a right triangle, so by Pythagoras' theorem,
Then by the law of sines,
Answer:
GF = 16.25
Step-by-step explanation:
If G is the circumcenter of triangle ABC, AG = 6x + 1, GC = 9x – 11, and BC = 38, find GF.
Step 1
We find x
AG = GC
6x + 1 =9x - 11
Collect like terms
1 + 11 = 9x - 6x
12 = 3x
x = 12/3
x = 4
Step 2
We solve for AG
GC = 9x + 11
GC = 9(4) + 11
GC = 36 + 11
GC = 25
Step 3
Solving for GF, using Pythagoras Theorem
GF² + BG² = GC²
GF² = GC² - BG²
GF = √GC² - BG²
GF = √25² - 19²
GF = √264
GF = 16.248076809
GF = 16.25

Total angle sum will always equal 360 degrees. Due to vertical angles theorem, we know the angles opposite the polynomials also equal the polynomials. So, we can double both of them (like solving for perimeter) and sum them to 360.
Thus, 360 = 2(2x + 10) + 2(x+ 5)
360 = 2(2x + 10 + x + 5)
360 = 2(3x + 15)
180 = 3x + 15
165 = 3x
x = 55
