Find EG
8 years ago
1st step is to find DA:
Look at the triangle DGA
tan = opp./adj.
tan (35 degrees) = 20/DA
tan (35 degrees)/1 = 20/DA
DA x tan (35 degrees) = 20
DA = 20/tan (35 degrees)
DA = 28.56 cm
2nd step is to find EA:
Look at the triangle DEA
tan (10 degrees + 35 degrees) = EA/DA
tan (45 degrees) = EA/28.56
tan (45 degrees)/1 = EA/28.56
EA = 28.56 x tan (45 degrees)
EA = 28.56 cm
EG = EA - GA
EG = 28.56 - 20
EG = 8.56 cm
Let's find AD first, if we find AD then we can find EA..from that we have EG.
Tan(35)=AG/AD
AD=AG/tan(35)
AD=20/tan(35)=28.6
Now it is EA Turn :
Tan(45) = EA/AD
EA=AD. Tan(45)
EA=28.6.Tan(45)
EA=28.6
( we should know that before calulcation since there are two equal angle in the traingle that means two sides are equal. )
EG=EA-AG = 8.6
