Full solution

Q. Triangle EFGEFG on one side FGFG measures 20m20\,\text{m} and angle DEF\text{DEF} is 6060 degrees. EGEG bisects angle DEF\text{DEF}
  1. Calculate EG Length: Calculate the length of side EGEG using the fact that angle EGFEGF is 3030 degrees because EGEG bisects angle DEFDEF which is 6060 degrees.
  2. Trigonometry Calculation: Use the sine rule or trigonometry to find the length of side EGEG. Since we don't have enough information to apply the sine rule, we'll use trigonometry.
  3. Sine Function Application: In right triangle EGFEGF, side EGEG is the hypotenuse and side FGFG is opposite to the 3030-degree angle. Use the sine function: sin(30)=FGEG\sin(30) = \frac{FG}{EG}.
  4. Solve for EG: sin(30)\sin(30) is 0.50.5. So, 0.5=20mEG0.5 = \frac{20 m}{EG}. Solve for EG by multiplying both sides by EG and then dividing both sides by 0.50.5.
  5. Final Calculation: EG×0.5=20mEG \times 0.5 = 20 \, \text{m}. Therefore, EG=20m0.5EG = \frac{20 \, \text{m}}{0.5}.
  6. Result: EG=40mEG = 40\,\text{m}. So, the length of side EGEG is 40meters40\,\text{meters}.
