Answer:
Option (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the bar EG = 1.6x
If F is a point on the bar such that,
EF + FG = EG
Measure of segment EF = 6
Measure of FG = x
By substituting measures of each side,
6 + x = 1.6x
1.6x - x = 6
0.6x = 6
x = 10
Length of EG = x + 6
= 10 + 6
= 16 units
Option (D) will be the correct option.
From the given diagram , the length of EG is 16
Given :
From the diagram , we can see that
EF=6, FG=x and EG=1.6x
We know that , EG=EF+FG
[tex]EG=EF+FG\\1.6x=6+x\\Solve \; for \; x\\1.6x-x=6\\0.6x=6\\divide by \; 0.6\\x=10[/tex]
Now we find out EG
EG=1.6x
Substitute 10 for x
[tex]EG=1.6x=1.6(10)=16\\[/tex]
EG=16
The length of EG is 16
