Question

Given that line EH is a median of triangle EFG find FG

Answer 1

12.2

Explanation:

We can say that FG = FH + HG

Since EH is the median, FH and HG is equal. Thus we can find x.

`FH=HG\\6x-1.1=4x+1.3\\6x-4x=1.3+1.1\\2x=2.4\\x=(2.4)/(2)\\x=1.2`

Now we can find FH = 6x - 1.1 = 6(1.2) - 1.1 = 6.1, and

HG = 4x + 1.3 = 4(1.2) + 1.3 = 6.1

Hence, FG = 6.1 + 6.1 = 12.2
