2. Measuring and Constructing Segments
Sign In
Find FH with the Segment Addition Postulate. Note that we are given the length of the longer segment.
FH=24
To find FH, we should use the Segment Addition Postulate. This postulate tells us that, if we have a point between two points, we can add the lengths of the two smaller segments to find the longer segment length. In our case, H is between F and G, so FG is the sum of FH and HG.
FG= 37, HG= 13
LHS-13=RHS-13
Rearrange equation
The length FH is 24.
