Answer to Problem 7PSA

The values of EJ=8,JG=5andHJ=5. .

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

  EJ=x+5

  JG=2x1

  HF=13

Formula used:

Congruent sides of similar triangles are in proportion.

Calculation:

We know that, in an isosceles trapezium, the diagonals are congruent.

In trapezium EFGH,EGandHF are the diagonals and so they will be equal

As HF=13

  EG=HFEJ+JG=13

As EJ=x+5andJG=2x1

  x+5+2x1=133x=9x=3EJ=x+5=8JG=2x1=5

In ΔGHJandΔEFJ,

  GHJ=EFJ … (Alternate angles)

  HGJ=FEJ … (Alternate angles)

  GJH=EJF … (Vertically opposite angles)

  ΔGHJΔEFJ … (By AAA similarity test)

As the corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion

  FJHJ=EJGJ

  FJHJ+1=EJGJ+1FJ+HJHJ=EJ+GJGJFHHJ=EGGJ13HJ=13GJHJ=GJHJ=5...(GJ=5)

Hence, EJ=8,JG=5andHJ=5.
