Question

If eg=25 and point f is 2/5 of the way between e and g find the value fg

Answer 1

fg = 15

2/5(25) = 10
25-10 = 15

Answer 2

Answer: The required length of FG is 15 units.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the length of the segment EG is 25 units and the point F is
`(2)/(5)` of the way between E and G.

We are to find the length of FG.

The given information is shown in the attached figure below.

Since the point F is
`(2)/(5)` of the way between E and G, so we must have

`EF=(2)/(5)* EG\\\\\\\Rightarrow EF=(2)/(5)*25\\\\\Rightarrow EF=10.`

Therefore, the length of FG is given by

`FG=EG-EF=25-10=15.`

Thus, the required length of FG is 15 units.
