Question

50 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!

Solve for EG.
A) 12
B) 15
C) 21
D) 30

Answer 1

The answer is C) 21, because 6/14 is simplified to 3/7. assuming it’s a pattern 3/7, 6/14, 12/21.

Answer 2

Assuming the parallel looking lines are actually parallel, we get proportionality from the corresponding parts:

`(FG)/(IJ) = (EF)/(HI)`

`FG = IJ (EF)/(HI) = 14 (9/6) = 21`

`EG = EF + FG = 9 + 21 = 30`

Answer: D
