Given EP = FP and GQ = FQ, what is the perimeter of ΔEFG?

x is  

Explanation:

Given:

EP = FP

GQ = FQ

Since the sides are equal, the ΔFPQ and ΔFEG are similar.

According to the property of similarity:

On substituting the value:

Perimeter will be sum of all the sides. If y is known then substitute the value and then find the perimeter.

step-by-step explanation:

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
