3. Find the length of MG. EGF ~ EML.
1 answer:
The length of MG is 56 for the given similar triangles.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let us consider EML and EGF is two similar triangles.
From the triangle,
EG=5x+2.
EM=16.
EL=28.
EF=126.
According to similar triangle property,
triangle ratio=
.
126(16)=28(5x+2).
2016=140x+56.
140x=1960.
x=14.
⇒EG=5(14)+2.
EG=70+2.
EG=72.
To find the length of MG,
EG=EM+MG.
MG=EG-EM.
=72-16.
MG=56.

<h3>What exactly is polygon?</h3>In geometry, it should be noted that a polygon is a plane figure which is described by a finite number of straight line segments that are connected in order to form a closed polygonal chain.
In this case, the bounded plane region, the bounding circuit, may be called a polygon. Also, a similarity transformation is the conformal mapping whose transformation matrix are identical.
In this case, it should be noted that Polygon 3 and polygon 4 are similar to polygon 1.
