SOLUTION

In this question, we are meant to find the length of DF.

We should also note that DF = 2 X DH

Next, we also consider that :

DE = 13

EH = 12

DH = ?

Using Pythagoras' theorem,

We have that DE ^2 = EH ^2 + DH ^2

13^2 = 12 ^2 + DH ^2

169 = 144 + DH ^2

169 - 144 = DH^2

DH ^2 = 25

Square- root both sides, we have :

DH = 5

Note: DF = 2 X DH

DF = 2 X 5

DF = 10
