|DF| = |DE| + |EF|

|DF| = 9x -36

|DE| = 47

|EF| = 3x+10

Substitute:

9x - 39 = 47 + 3x + 10

9x - 39 = 3x + 57 |+39

9x = 3x + 96 |-3x

6x = 96 |:6

x = 16

Put the value of x to the equation |EF| = 3x + 10

|EF| = (3)(16) + 10 = 48 + 10 = 58

Answer: |EF| = 58

Answer: The required length of EF is 58 units.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that DF = 9x - 39, DE = 47 units and EF = 3x + 10.

We are to find the length of EF.

We have

$DE+EF=DF\\\\\Rightarrow 47+(3x+10)=9x-39\\\\\Rightarrow 3x+57=9x-39\\\\\Rightarrow 9x-3x=57+39\\\\\Rightarrow 6x=96\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{96}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow x=16.$

Therefore, the length of EF is given by

$EF=3\imes16+10=48+10=58.$

Thus, the required length of EF is 58 units.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{\boxed{8}}{81}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{If}\ a_1,\ a_2,\ a_3,\ a_4,\ ...,\ a_n\ \text{is the geometric sequence, then}\\\\\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{a_4}{a_3}=...=\dfrac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}=constant=r-\text{common ration}.\\\\\text{We have}\ \dfrac{1}{2},\ \dfrac{1}{3},\ \dfrac{2}{9},\ \dfrac{4}{27},\ ...\\\\\dfrac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot\dfrac{2}{1}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\dfrac{\frac{2}{9}}{\frac{1}{3}}=\dfrac{2}{9}\cdot\dfrac{3}{1}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\dfrac{\frac{4}{27}}{\frac{2}{9}}=\dfrac{4}{27}\cdot\dfrac{9}{2}=\dfrac{2}{3}$

$\bold{CORRECT}\\\\\dfrac{x}{\frac{4}{27}}=\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by}\ \dfrac{4}{27}\\\\x=\dfrac{2}{3}\cdot\dfrac{4}{27}\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{81}$
