Question

If line 'q' bisects line EG at point T, and if ET = 1/3x and TG = x-2, then find EG.

Answer 1

do you have a picture?

Answer 2

Let me try to draw one.

Answer 3

Are EG and ET equidistant?

Answer 4

Alright, this is what I would do. Since ET is much longer than EG, I would set an equation as 1/3x - (x-2). That that sound okay?

Answer 5

Directions: USe the definition of a segment of angle bisector to answer the question below. So I guess so, yes.

Answer 6

But that does not mean the angles are equal. It just means there is an equal distance from ET to TG

Answer 7

Okay let me try that.

Answer 8

Okay then. You need to set it up as : ET=TG. The equation will then be

1/3x =(x-2)
