@ybarrap @ehuman @jim_thompson5910  Please, rescue

nikato · Answer

If u say GI is the perpendicular bisector, do u mean IG is perpendicular bisector of EF and that it bisects EF so EG=GF

anonymous · Answer

Correct

nikato · Answer

And u know the lengths of EG and GF

nikato · Answer

So with this u can set up this and solve for y.

3.2y-1= 2y+5

anonymous · Answer

And the answer is 5
