DF bisects angle EDG. Find FG. The diagram is not to scale. Is the answer n=5?

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

What do u think it is?

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

U there

OpenStudy (sibunann):

OpenStudy (sibunann):

i just said i think its n=5

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

Ok

OpenStudy (sibunann):

is it right?

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

Yea

OpenStudy (sibunann):

okay thanks

OpenStudy (sibunann):

how do you know its right tho

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

1 sec

OpenStudy (sibunann):

mkay

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@sibunann do you know what mean bisector of an angle ?

OpenStudy (sibunann):

yes

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

@neonumbrella5115 can u help?

OpenStudy (sibunann):

or is the answer 46.5

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so what mean that this DF bisects angle EDG ? how will be these two formed angles EDF and FDG ?

OpenStudy (sibunann):

i dont understand what youre saying

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so you have said that you know what mean bisector of an angle ?

OpenStudy (sibunann):

yes i know what that is but the way you are wording it makes no sense

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

Let's start from the beginning. Because the angle is bisected, that means that the angles are the same correct?

OpenStudy (sibunann):

yes i know that

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so this mean that the formed two angles will be congruent so than you can writing n+9=4n-6 can you solve this for n ?

OpenStudy (sibunann):

yeah i did its 5

OpenStudy (sibunann):

do you want me to show my work

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

than you have got n=5 for you get the measure of these angles just you need to substitute the n=5 inside one equation in place of n and will get the right value of angles ok ?

OpenStudy (sibunann):

oh okay i forgot that step thank you

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes for that you not have got the right answer - yes ?

OpenStudy (sibunann):

so 14

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes - right

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you understand it now why ?

OpenStudy (sibunann):

yes i understood before i just forgot the last part. thanks
