Math Problem Statement
Find the length of FH in a straight line with segments FG = 19 and GH = 7.
Solution
The diagram shows a straight line segment with points , , and . The distances between these points are labeled as follows:
To find the total length of , we simply add the two given distances:
Thus, the length of is 26 units.

- How would the answer change if were 10 units instead of 7?
- What if there were additional points between and ? How would you calculate the total distance?
- How can you apply this concept to real-world measurement problems?
- Can you calculate the total length if the distances between points were given in different units, like meters and centimeters?
- How would you approach this problem if the points formed a non-linear path?
Tip: When adding distances along a straight line, just sum up the lengths of each segment directly.
