In triangle CBA, CB is 58 Let's find BA We know that \[\frac{perpendicular}{adjacent}= \tan \theta\] WE have here perpendicular CB= 58 and adjacent = BA\[\theta =45\ degrees\] so \[\frac{58}{BA}= \tan 45\]tan 45= 1 so \[BA= 58 \] Now BG=120 \[BG=BA+AG \] so \[AG=120-58=62\] Now in triangle EAG EG= perpendicular AG=62 \[\theta=60\] so \[\frac{EG}{AG}=\tan 60\] we get \[EG= 62 \times \sqrt{3}\] \[EG=107.38 units\]
