If FG = 2 units, FI = 7 units, and HI = 1 unit, what is GH?
Does the line look like this?
F________G_______H_______I
2+X+1=7
3+X =7
X = 4
we know that
\(FI=FG+GH+HI\)
solve for GH
\(GH=FI-(FG+HI)\)
we have
\(FI=7\ units\\FG=2\ units\\HI=1\ units\)
substitute in the formula above
\(GH=7-(2+1)\)
\(GH=7-3\)
\(GH=4\ units\)
therefore
the answer is
\(GH=4\ units\)
