Answer:

FG = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

EG = 5x + 7

EF = 5x

FG = 2x - 7

Required

Determine the length of FG

Since, F is on segment EG, then

EG= EF + FG

Substitute values for EG, EF and FG

5x + 7 = 5x + 2x - 7

Collect Like Terms

5x - 5x - 2x = -7 - 7

- 2x = -14

Solve for x

x = -14/-2

x = 7

Substitute 7 for x in FG = 2x - 7

FG = 2 * 7- 7

FG = 14- 7

FG = 7

What are a, b, c and d​
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4 g.

c=42

a=b=d

a+b+42=180

a+a=180-42

2a=138

a=138/2=69

a=69

b=69

c=42

d=69

5a.

a=30

angle O=180-(a+30)=180-(30+30)=180-60=120°

d=80

angle O=180-(d+80))=180-(80+80)=180-160=20°

central angle O of middle triangle=180-(120+20)=180-140=40°

b=c

b+c+40=180

b+b=180-40

2b=140

b=140/2=70

b=70°

c=70°
