Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 7 = 13
5x = 13 + 7
5x = 20
x = 20/5
x = 4
By the law of sines, m∠<em>EFG</em> is such that
sin(m∠<em>EFG</em>) / (8 in.) = sin(m∠<em>G</em>) / (7.5 in)
so you need to find m∠<em>G</em>.
The interior angles to any triangle sum to 180°, so
m∠<em>DEG</em> = m∠<em>D</em> + m∠<em>G</em> + 43°
m∠<em>DEG</em> + m∠<em>D</em> + m∠<em>G </em>= 2 (m∠<em>D</em> + m∠<em>G</em>) + 43°
180° = 2 (m∠<em>D</em> + m∠<em>G</em>) + 43°
137° = 2 (m∠<em>D</em> + m∠<em>G</em>)
68.5° = m∠<em>D</em> + m∠<em>G</em>
But ∆<em>DEG</em> is isosceles, so m∠<em>D</em> = m∠<em>G</em>, which means
68.5° = 2 m∠<em>G</em>
34.25° = m∠<em>G</em>
<em />
Then
sin(m∠<em>EFG</em>) = (8 in.) sin(34.25°) / (7.5 in)
m∠<em>EFG</em> ≈ sin⁻¹(0.600325) ≈ 36.8932°
