Answer:
FG = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
FD is an angle bisector and divides the opposite side into segments that are proportional to the other 2 sides, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
54x = 24(x + 10)
54x = 24x + 240 ( subtract 24x from both sides )
30x = 240 ( divide both sides by 30 )
x = 8
Then
FG = x + 10 = 8 + 10 = 18
