14 in.

Practice makes perfect

Consider the given diagram.

To find FG, we will use the Segment Addition Postulate. Let's first recall the relationship between a radius and a diameter of a circle. r=d/2 We are given that the diameter of ⊙ A is 8 inches, so its radius AF=8 ÷ 2 = 4 inches. We are also given that the diameter of ⊙ B is 18 inches, so AG= 18 inches. With this information, we can find FG.

AF + FG = AG
4 + FG = 18
FG=14
