Question

Use the diagram. What is the length of }EG ? A 1 B 4.4 C 10 D 16

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the bar EG = 1.6x

If F is a point on the bar such that,

EF + FG = EG

Measure of segment EF = 6

Measure of FG = x

By substituting measures of each side,

6 + x = 1.6x

1.6x - x = 6

0.6x = 6

x = 10

Length of EG = x + 6

                      = 10 + 6

                      = 16 units

Option (D) will be the correct option.
