Q. Triangle EFG on one side FG measures 20m and angle DEF is 60 degrees. EG bisects angle DEF
Calculate EG Length: Calculate the length of side EG using the fact that angle EGF is 30 degrees because EG bisects angle DEF which is 60 degrees.
Trigonometry Calculation: Use the sine rule or trigonometry to find the length of side EG. Since we don't have enough information to apply the sine rule, we'll use trigonometry.
Sine Function Application: In right triangle EGF, side EG is the hypotenuse and side FG is opposite to the 30-degree angle. Use the sine function: sin(30)=EGFG.
Solve for EG:sin(30) is 0.5. So, 0.5=EG20m. Solve for EG by multiplying both sides by EG and then dividing both sides by 0.5.
Final Calculation:EG×0.5=20m. Therefore, EG=0.520m.
Result:EG=40m. So, the length of side EG is 40meters.
