Question

If FG = 8 and FH = 34, what is GH?
If FG = 9 and GH = 17, what is FH?

Answer 1

To find the length of GH when FG is 8 and FH is 34, subtract FG from FH, resulting in GH being 26 units long. Similarly, when FG is 9 and GH is 17, add them together to find FH, which is also 26 units long.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the lengths GH and FH given the lengths of FG and FH in two different situations. In the first situation, FG is 8 and FH is 34. To find GH, we can subtract the length of FG from FH:

FH = FG + GH
GH = FH - FG
GH = 34 - 8
GH = 26

So, GH is 26 units long.

In the second situation, FG is 9 and GH is 17. To find FH, we simply add the lengths of FG and GH:

FH = FG + GH
FH = 9 + 17
FH = 26

Therefore, FH is 26 units long in the second situation.
