In the figure below, determine the perimeter of triangle EFG

82 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, we can see that the 2 triangles are similar triangles.

Thus:

BC = EF

BD = EG

CD = FG

Now, BD = 4x - 9 and EG = 2x + 15

Thus;

4x - 9 = 2x + 15

4x - 2x = 15 + 9

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12

Thus, in triangle EFG where EG = 2x + 15, then EG = 2(12) + 15 = 39

Also, EF = BC = 17

FG = 26

Thus, perimeter of triangle EFG is;

P = 26 + 17 + 39

P = 82 units

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
