Answer:
FH = 134
Explanation:
From the question given:
G is the midpoint of FH
FG = 14x + 25
GH = 73 - 2x
FH =?
Next, we shall determine the value of x. The value of x can be obtained as follow:
Since G is the midpoint of FH, this implies that FG and GH are equal i.e
FG = GH
With the above formula, we can obtain the value of x as follow:
FG = 14x + 25
GH = 73 - 2x
x =?
FG = GH
14x + 25 = 73 - 2x
Collect like terms
14x + 2x = 73 - 25
16x = 48
Divide both side by 16
x = 48/16
x = 3
Next, we shall determine the value of FG and GH. These can be obtained as shown below:
FG = 14x + 25
x = 3
FG = 14x + 25
FG = 14(3) + 25
FG = 42 + 25
FG = 67
GH = 73 - 2x
x = 3
GH = 73 - 2x
GH = 73 - 2(3)
GH = 73 - 6
GH = 67
Finally, we shall determine FH as follow:
FH = FG + GH
FG = 67
GH = 67
FH = FG + GH
FH = 67 + 67
FH = 134
Therefore, FH is 134
