Question

Due soon!! Find the measure of GE¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. A. 14 B. 20 C. 15 D. 16

Answer 1

Answer:

D.16

Step-by-step explanation:

GE × GF = GH^2

9 × (9 + x - 2 ) = 12^2

63 + 9x = 144

9x = 81

x = 9

so, GE = 9 + x - 2

= 7 + 9

= 16

Answer 2

Answer:

D. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

$GH^2 = GF \times GE$

$12^2 = 9 \times (9+x - 2)$

$144= 9 \times (7+x)$

$\frac{144}{9}= (7+x)$

$16= 7+x$

$16-7=x$

$9=x$

GE = 9 + x - 2 = 9 + 9 - 2 = 18 - 2

GE = 16
