Question 207180This question is from textbook Geometry
: Find the value of z. Then find GE and EH and state whether E is the midpoint of GH.
GH=z+6, EH=2z-4, GE=z This question is from textbook Geometry
GH = GE + EH
z + 6 = z + (2z - 4)
z + 6 = z + 2z - 4
z + 6 = 3z - 4
-2z = -10
z = 5
So GE = z = 5
EH = 2z - 4 = 2(5) - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6
GH = z + 6 = 5 + 6 = 11
No E is not the midpoint of GH since GEEH,
they would have had to be each, but one
is 5 an the other 6.
