Question

Point H is on line segment GI. Given GH=12 and GI =17, determine the length HI

Answer 1

Given:

Point H is on line segment GI

The length of the line GH = 12.

The length of the line GI = 17.

The objective is to find the length HI.

The unknown length can be calculated as,

`\begin{gathered} GI=GH+HI \\ 17=12+x \\ x=17-12 \\ x=5 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the length of HI is 5.
