\large{ { \tt{꧁ \: A\: N \: S \: W \: E \: R \: ꧂}}}:

Explanation:


\underline{ \underline{ \large{ \red{\tt{ \: P \: R \: O \: V \: I\: D \: E \: D\: }} }}: }

  • EFGH is a parallelogram.
  • EF = 3w & JG = w + 8


\underline{ \underline{ \purple{ \large\tt{T\: O \: \: F \: I\: N \: D}}}} :

  • measure of JG

Since we know , The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other ;


\large{\text{EF \: = JG}}


\large{ \bf{3w = w + 8}}


\large{ \bf{3w - w = 8}}


\large{ \bf{2w = 8}}


\large{ \bf{w = (8)/(2)}}


\boxed{\large{ \bf{w = 4}}}


\underline{ \text{Replacing \: Value}} :


\large{ \bf{JG = w + 8 = 4 + 8 = \boxed{ \bf{12}}}}

Yayy! We found our answer ☾


\boxed{ \boxed{ \orange{\tt{Our \: Final \: Answer : \underline{ \boxed{ \tt{12}}}}}}}

Hope I helped! ♡
