Answer:

JH = 8, GH = 12, and GJ = 10.6

Explanation:

According to Midsegment Theorem, a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is half the length of the third side.

GH = ½ DE

JH = ½ DF

GJ = ½ EF

DE is 24, so GH = 12.

JH is half of DF. Since G is the midpoint of DF, DG is also half of DF. So JH = DG = 8.

GJ is half of EF. Since H is the midpoint of EF, HE is also half of EF. So GJ = HE = 10.6.
