Answer:

x = 17

y = 2

Length of DF = 20

Explanation:

Step 1: Solve x - 3

  • Since GH is the mid-segment it is equal to half of EF
  • Half of EF is 28/2 = 14
  • x - 3 = 14
  • x = 14 + 3
  • x = 17

Step 2: Plug x = 17 into x - 7 and solve

  • x - 7
  • (17) - 7 = 10
  • Since DH and HF are equal then x - 7 = y + 8
  • So, 10 = y + 8
  • y = 2

Step 3: Find the length of DF

  • DF = y + 8 + x - 7
  • DF = y + x + 1
  • DF = 2 + 17 + 1 = 20
