Answer to Question #160491 in Geometry for julius

Question

Find the value of JG. 4х – 10 | 2х + 12 ЈG = 11 ЈG = 18 JG = 22 JG = 34

Answer 1

in a triangle JGW, WJ = 4x-10, GW = 2x+12, and JG has to find where, all three sides of the triangle are equal.

thus, JG = GW = WJ

now, GW = WJ

2x+12 = 4x-10

2x = 22

x = 11

thus, GW = 2x+12 = (2*11)+12

GW = 34

we know that, JG =GW

therefore, JG = 34
