Question

In the figure below, what is the measurement of GH ?

Answer 1

C. 4

Explanation:

first off, we know we need the value of HJ to solve for GH. Luckily for us HJ is congruent to JK, and we have the values to solve for that using pythagorean theorum.

4^2 + JK^2 = 5^2

16 + JK^2 = 25

JK^2 = 9

JK = 3

now we can solve for GH

3^2 + GH^2 = 5^2

9 + GH^2 = 25

GH^2 = 16

GH = 4
