Question

JF and GF are tangent to O H. What is HJ?

Answer 1

HJ= 6

Explanation:

STEP 1

JF and GF equal eachother: 4x-3=3x.

To help find your answer of JH, you need to know x. You can do that by solving for x when 4x-3=3x. By doing so, you find out x=3. You can prove this by plugging in 3 for x. 4(3)-3=3(3). then to 12-3=9. finally 9=9. So x=3

Now that you know x, you can do step 2.

STEP 2

GH = x+3.

Plug in 3 for x. GH = 6

Since you know that JF and GF are equal, that means

HJ has to be equal to GH.

So that means your answer is 6.
