Math Problem Statement

Find the length of FH given that FG = 22 and HG = 15.

Solution

In the given image, the line segment FGFG is divided into two parts at point HH. The length of segment HG=15HG = 15 units and the total length of segment FG=22FG = 22 units.

To find the length of segment FHFH, we subtract the length of HGHG from the total length FGFG:

FH=FGHGFH = FG - HG

Substituting the known values:

FH=2215=7FH = 22 - 15 = 7

Thus, the length of FHFH is 77 units.

  4. How does this type of segment division apply to the midpoint concept?
  5. Can we apply this same approach if the line was divided into unequal parts?

Tip: When subtracting to find unknown segments, always double-check the measurements to ensure accuracy!
