Answer 1

Answer: 4.6

Explanation:

GH is equal to 4.6 since it is congruent to JH. GJ is one line, which makes angles GKH and JKH supplementary angles. Since angle GKH = 90, angle JKH must also equal 90, making these triangles similar. However, if you wish to see it done out mathematically, the following explanation is there:

`a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)`

3.6^2 + HK^2 = 4.6^2

HK^2 = 4.6^2 - 3.6^2

HK^2 = 8.2

HK = 2.86

HK^2 + GK^2 = GH^2

8.2 + 12.96 = GH^2

GH = 4.6
