PLEASE HELP!!! Find MG. ∆EGF~∆EML.

Mathematics
1 answer:
stiv31 [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

MG=56\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of x

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem we have that

∆EGF~∆EML

so

\frac{EG}{EM}=\frac{EF}{EL}

substitute the given values

\frac{5x+2}{16}=\frac{126}{28}

solve for x

5x+2=\frac{126}{28}(16)

5x+2=72\\5x=70\\x=14

EG=5x+2=5(14)+2=72\ units

step 2

Find MG

we know that

MG=EG-EM

substitute

MG=72-16=56\ units

Answer:

The lines blue and green are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is -1)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

step 1

Find the slope of the blue line

we have the points

(-1,-3) and (0,3)

substitute

m=\frac{3+3}{0+1}

m=\frac{6}{1}=6

step 2

Find the slope of the red line

we have the points

(3,-3) and (4,2)

substitute

m=\frac{2+3}{4-3}

m=\frac{5}{1}=5

step 3

Find the slope of the green line

we have the points

(-4,-1) and (2,-2)

substitute

m=\frac{-2+1}{2+4}

m=-\frac{1}{6}

step 4

Compare the slopes

Blue line ----> m=6

Red line ----. m=5

Green line ---> m=-\frac{1}{6}

so

The slope of the blue line and the green line are opposite reciprocal ( their product is equal to -1)

therefore

The lines blue and green are perpendicular
