<span>We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the diagonal (hypotenuse) length of the gate. This theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the leg lengths and c is the hypotenuse length. In this case, 80^2 + 60^2 = 6400 + 3600 = 10,000 = c^2. Taking the square root, we see that the length of the brace is 100 inches (thus making the gate a standard 3-4-5 right triangle).</span>

Which represents the value of What is the length of line segment DG?
Natalka [10]

<u>Answer</u>

12 units


<u>Explanation</u>

This can be solved using the properties of a circle.

DG and EG are secants f the circle.

DG×HG =EG×FG

(x+3+5)×5 = (x+6)×6

(x+8)5 = 6x + 36

5x +40 = 6x + 36

x = 4

DG = (x+3+5)

= 4 + 3 + 5

= 12 units

20% = \frac{1}{5}
4% = \frac{1}{25}
\frac{3}{4} = 75%
\frac{11}{25} = 44%
7 out of 10 = 70%
