Answer:

B

Explanation:

Since ∠ E = ∠ F then the triangle is isosceles and DF = DE, that is

6x = x + 2y ( subtract x from both sides )

5x = 2y ( subtract 2y from both sides )

5x - 2y = 0 → (1)

and perimeter = 29, that is

6x x + 2y + 5x - y = 29 , simplifying

12x + y = 29 → (2)

Multiply (2) by 2

24x + 2y = 58 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y, that is

29x = 58 ( divide both sides by 29 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into (2) and evaluate for y

12(2) + y = 29

24 + y = 29 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

y = 5

Thus

FE = 5x - y = 5(2) - 5 = 10 - 5 = 5 → B
