Question
- find the length of each side if △fgh is an equilateral triangle
x =
fh =
hg =
fg =
Step1: Set two - side lengths equal
Since it's an equilateral triangle, we can set $6x + 1=3x + 10$.
$6x+1 = 3x + 10$
$6x-3x=10 - 1$
$3x=9$
$x = 3$
Step2: Check with another pair
We can also check by setting $6x + 1=9x - 8$.
$6x+1=9x - 8$
$9x-6x=1 + 8$
$3x=9$
$x = 3$
Step3: Find the side - length
Substitute $x = 3$ into any side - length expression. Let's use $6x + 1$.
When $x = 3$, $6x+1=6\times3+1=18 + 1=19$.
Since it's an equilateral triangle, $FH=HG=FG = 19$.
