प्रश्न

Given: ∠GHE = ∠DFE = 90°,

DH = 8, DF = 12,

DG = 3x – 1 and DE = 4x + 2.


Find: the lengths of segments DG and DE.

उत्तर

In ΔDHG and ΔDFE,

∠GHD = ∠DFE = 90°

∠D = ∠D  ...(Common)

∴ ΔDHG ∼ ΔDFE

`=> (DH)/(DF) = (DG)/(DE)`

`=> 8/12 = (3x - 1)/(4x + 2)`

`=>` 32x + 16 = 36x – 12

`=>` 28 = 4x

`=>` x = 7

∴ DG = 3 × 7 – 1 = 20

DE = 4 × 7 + 2 = 30
