Answer 3

diagram?

Answer 4

got picture?

Answer 5

Do you know the distance between C and B?

Answer 6

no @study100

Answer 7

9

Answer 8

So, DISTANCE between C and D is 9.

Answer 9

okay

Answer 10

Not answer yet,

Answer 11

Now take a look at the graph

mAD = mDE = mEF = mFB

AB is divide to 4 CONGRUENT parts.
Can you see that from D to B, there's 3 congruent part?

Answer 12

Yes i can

Answer 13

As you can see the hypotenuse of bigger triangle AB has one more congruent part than hypotneuse of the smaller triangle

Answer 14

So you can say that mDB = 3/4 mAB

Answer 15

which means that mGB = 3/4mCB

Answer 16

we know that mCB= 9
so mGB = (3/4) 9
mGB= 6.75

Answer 17

So is the final answer (3.75, -2.5)?

Answer 18

to find ? take 6 - 6.75
