Answer:

DF=12√2

FG=12√2

DG=24

Explanation:

Ratio of special Right Triangle (45:45:90): x:x:x√2

Triangle DEF: x:x:x√2

x=12

12: 12: 12√2

So, DF= 12√2

Opposite (if q, then p) Base angle theorem. So, FD≅FG.

FD=12√2

FG=12√2

Ratio of 45:45:90 Triangle: x:x::x√2

x in triangle FDG= 12√2

12√2:12√2:12√2(√2)

12√2*√2=24

=12√2: 12√2: 24

DG=24
