Answer:

Part 1) x=7

Part 2) EF=10\ units

Part 3) FG=18\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the value of x

we know that

EG=EF+FG ---> by addition segment postulate

we have

EG=28\ units\\EF=3x-11\\FG=4x-10

substitute

28=(3x-11)+(4x-10)

solve for x

28=7x-21

7x=28+21

7x=491

x=7

step 2

Find the value of EF

EF=(3x-11)

substitute the value of x

EF=3(7)-11=10\ units

step 3

Find the value of FG

FG=(4x-10)

substitute the value of x

FG=4(7)-10=18\ units

The first example has students building upon the previous lesson by applying the scale factor to find missing dimensions. This leads into a discussion of whether this method is the most efficient and whether they could find another approach that would be simpler, as demonstrated in Example 2. Guide students to record responses and additional work in their student materials.
§ How can we use the scale factor to write an equation relating the scale drawing lengths to the actual lengths?

§ How can we reconsider finding an actual length without dividing?
ú We can let the scale drawing be the first image and the actual picture be the second image. We can calculate the scale factor that relates the given scale drawing length, , to the actual length,. If the actual picture is an enlargement from the scale drawing, then the scale factor is greater than one or
> 1. If the actual picture is a reduction from the scale drawing, then the scale factor is less than one or < 1.
Scaffolding:
A reduction has a scale factor less than 1, and an enlargement has a scale factor greater than 1.
