Answer:

EG = 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that line q bisects EG at T , then

ET = TG  ( substitute values )

\frac{1}{3} x = x - 2 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

x = 3x - 6 ( subtract x from both sides )

0 = 2x - 6 ( add 6 to both sides )

6 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )

3 = x

Then

ET = \frac{1}{3} x = \frac{1}{3} × 3 = 1

TG = x - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1

Thus

EG = ET + TG = 1 + 1 = 2 units

EG = \frac{4x}{3} - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

( <em>First check the attached image for diagram</em> )

EG=ET+TG

Substituting the given values,

EG =  \frac{1}{3}x + (x - 2)

Opening the brackets and multiplying,

EG =  \frac{1 \times x}{3} + x - 2

=  > EG =  \frac{x}{3} + x - 2

Finding LCM,

=  > EG = ( \frac{x}{3} +  \frac{x \times 3}{1 \times 3} ) - 2

=  > EG = ( \frac{x}{3} +  \frac{3x}{3}) - 2

Combining them,

EG =( \frac{x + 3x}{3}) - 2

EG =  \frac{4x}{3} - 2

Note:- T is midpoint of EG

because ET = TG

1. Remember that the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the sides of a figure.To solve this, we are going to use the distance formula: d= \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}
where
(x_{1},y_{1}) are the coordinates of the first point
(x_{2},y_{2}) are the coordinates of the second point
Length of  WZ:
We know form our graph that the coordinates of our first point, W, are (1,0) and the coordinates of the second point, Z, are (4,2). Using the distance formula:
d_{WZ}= \sqrt{(4-1)^2+(2-0)^2}
d_{WZ}= \sqrt{(3)^2+(2)^2}
d_{WZ}= \sqrt{9+4}
d_{WZ}= \sqrt{13}

We know that all the sides of a rhombus have the same length, so 
d_{YZ}=  \sqrt{13}
d_{XY}= \sqrt{13}
d_{XW}= \sqrt{13}

Now, we just need to add the four sides to get the perimeter of our rhombus:
perimeter= \sqrt{13} + \sqrt{13} + \sqrt{13} + \sqrt{13}
perimeter=4 \sqrt{13}
We can conclude that the perimeter of our rhombus is 4 \sqrt{13} square units. 

2. To solve this, we are going to use the arc length formula: s=r \alpha
where
s is the length of the arc. 
r is the radius of the circle.
\alpha is the central angle in radians

We know form our problem that the length of arc PQ is \frac{8}{3}  \pi inches, so s=\frac{8}{3} \pi, and we can infer from our picture that r=15. Lest replace the values in our formula to find the central angle POQ:
s=r \alpha
\frac{8}{3} \pi=15 \alpha
\alpha =  \frac{\frac{8}{3} \pi}{15}
\alpha = \frac{8}{45} \pi

Since \alpha =POQ, We can conclude that the measure of the central angle POQ is \frac{8}{45} \pi

3. A cross section is the shape you get when you make a cut thought a 3 dimensional figure. A rectangular cross section is a cross section in the shape of a rectangle. To get a rectangular cross section of a particular 3 dimensional figure, you need to cut  in an specific way. For example, a rectangular pyramid cut by a plane parallel to its base, will always give us a rectangular cross section. 
We can conclude that the draw of our cross section is:
