Question
what is the value of s? s =
Step1: Apply angle - bisector theorem
Since the ray $IG$ is the angle - bisector of $\angle H IJ$ and $GH\perp IH$, $GJ\perp IJ$, we know that $GH = GJ$ (a point on an angle - bisector is equidistant from the sides of the angle).
Step2: Set up the equation
Set $2s=s + 27$.
Step3: Solve the equation
Subtract $s$ from both sides of the equation $2s=s + 27$. We get $2s−s=s + 27−s$, which simplifies to $s = 27$.
