Question

Given that EH is a median of EFG, find FG.
A. 1.1
B. 1.2
C. 6.1
D. 12.2

Answer 1

if EH is a median, then it divides FG into two equal parts.
in other words,
6x-1.1 = 4x+1.3

I would first find x. Can you do that ?

Answer 2

x=1.2

Answer 3

Let's see:
6*1.2 -1.1 = 7.2 - 1.1 = 6.1
4*1.2 + 1.3 = 4.8+1.3 = 6.1

looks good.

now find the length of FH (for example)
and then double it to find the length of FG

Answer 4

So, it'd be D. 12.2

Answer 5

yes
