If FG = 2 units, FI = 7 units, and HI = 1 unit, what is GH?

Verified Answer :

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

\(GH=4\ units\)
