Answer:

35

Explanation:

Given:

GH = 23

HR = 12

Required:

Length big QR

SOLUTION:

Since H is a point in between points Q and R, points Q, H, R are collinear.

QH = 23

HR = 12

QH + HR = QR (segment addition postulate)

23 + 12 = QR (substitution)

35 = QR

Therefore, the length of QR is 35
