Question

3. E, F and G are collinear points. E is between F and G.

If FE = 3 in., and FG = 7 in., what is the length of EG?
a. 4
c. 3
I
b. 10
d. 21

Answer 1

A. 4 in

Explanation:

Collinear points are points that lies on the same straight line. If the points E, F and G are collinear points, then the three points lies on the same straight line.

If E is between F and G, the FE+EG = FG

EG = FG - FE

Given FE = 3 in and FG = 7 in

On substituting into the expression above to get EG;

EG = 7in - 3in

EG = 4in

Hence the length of EG is 4in
