if triangle fgh m f = m h, gf = x + 40, hf =3x - 20, and gh = 2x + 20. The length of GH is
Answer: it’s 60
Step-by-step explanation:
GH=2x+20=2(20)+20=40+20=60
When two angles are equal in a triangle the opposite sides of them are also equal. The value of the side GH is 60 units.
In [tex]\Delta FGH [/tex],
[tex]m\angle f=m\angle h[/tex]
The sides of the triangle,
[tex]GF=x+40[/tex]
[tex]HF=3x-20[/tex]
[tex]GH=2x+20[/tex]
An isosceles triangle is a triangle in which two sides and two angle are equal.
When two angles are equal in a triangle the opposite sides of them are also equal. Therefore,
[tex]GF=GH\\ [/tex]
Put the values,
[tex]\begin{aligned}\\ x+40&=2x+20\\ 2x-x&=40-20\\ x&=20\\ \end[/tex]
Thus the value of the GH is,
[tex]GH=2x+20\\ GH=2\times20+20\\ GH=60[/tex]
Thus the value of the side GH is 60 units.
