Question

50 POINTS!!!!!!!!!! Solve for EG. A) 12 B) 15 C) 21 D) 30

Answer 1

The answer is C) 21, because 6/14 is simplified to 3/7. assuming it’s a pattern 3/7, 6/14, 12/21.

Answer 2

Assuming the parallel looking lines are actually parallel, we get proportionality from the corresponding parts:

$\dfrac{FG}{IJ} = \dfrac{EF}{HI}$

$FG = IJ \dfrac{EF}{HI} = 14 (9/6) = 21$

$EG = EF + FG = 9 + 21 = 30$

Answer: D
