Find the measure of GE¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. A. 14 B. 20 C. 15 D. 16

Answer 1

D.16

Explanation:

GE × GF = GH^2

9 × (9 + x - 2 ) = 12^2

63 + 9x = 144

9x = 81

x = 9

so, GE = 9 + x - 2

= 7 + 9

= 16

Answer 2

D. 16

Explanation:

`GH^2 = GF * GE`

`12^2 = 9 * (9+x - 2)`

`144= 9 * (7+x)`

`(144)/(9)= (7+x)`

`16= 7+x`

`16-7=x`

`9=x`

GE = 9 + x - 2 = 9 + 9 - 2 = 18 - 2

GE = 16
