Answer:

FH = 7

Explanation:

Look at the figure below.

In this problem, we use twice the definition of a point between two points.

Point F is between points E and G, so

EF + FG = EG

Point G is between points F and H, so

FG + GH = FH

From point F being between points E and G, we have:

EF + FG = EG

We are shown that EF = 8 and EG = 10.

8 + FG = 10

FG = 2

From point G being between points F and H, we have:

FH = FG + GH

We calculated FG = 2, and we are shown that GH = 5.

FH = 2 + 5

FH = 7
