Question

In Circle P, EP = 2, PG = 12, and FP = 4.

What is the measure of PH?
A) 10
B) 16
C) 6
D) 8

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

FP * PH = GP * EP

If EP = 2, PG = 12, and FP = 4.

Then 4 * PH = 12 * 2

4 * PH = 12 * 2

step 1 simplify

4 * ph = 4PH

12 * 2 = 24

we now have 4PH = 24

step 2 divide each side by 4

4PH / 4 = PH

24 / 4 = 6

we're left with PH = 6
