help!!! will fan and medal

like a first step you need calculi the length of DG

OpenStudy (errinss):

how do i do that?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

this is easy just you need using pythagora"s theorem

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

DG^2 = 12^2 +5^2

OpenStudy (errinss):

@jabez177

OpenStudy (errinss):

DG=13^2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

DG = sqrt(144+25) = sqrt 169 = 13 DG = 13 =

OpenStudy (errinss):

but we're looking for AG

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so now that you know the length of DG from triangle ADG using pythagora"s theorem you can calculi the length of AG

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok.?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

this is easy

OpenStudy (errinss):

im lost

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

there is the right triangle ADG where you know that a side has length of 4 and the length of 13 how we get above so in this way AG^2 = 4^2 +13^2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

AG = ?

OpenStudy (errinss):

13.6

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

AG = sqrt(16+169) AG = sqrt185 = 13,6 you are right

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you understand it now ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. was my pleasure bye bye
