Answer:

GF = 20 units .

Explanation:

Given : A circle ,Point F is on circle C.

To find : What is the length of line segment GF.

Solution : We have given A circle ,Point F is on circle C.

In circle we can see in triangle GCE

EC = CF = 7.5

GE = 10.

By the Pythagorean theorem :

GC² = EG²+ EC².

Plugging the values

GC² = 10²+ 7.5².

GC² = 100 + 56 .25.

GC² = 156.25.

Taking square root.

GC = 12.5 units.

Radius of circle CF = 7.5 units .

GF = GC +CF.

GF = 12.5 + 7.5

GF = 20 units .

Therefore, GF = 20 units .
