Answer:
HI = 5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that:
Line segment GI has a point H on it such that the dimensions are given as:
GH = 12 units
GI = 17 units
To find:
Length of HI = ?
Solution:
As we are given that GI is a line segment that means GI is a straight line.
H is a point that lies on GI.
Kindly refer to the attached image for the given dimensions and given line.
Property of a straight line states that:
If there is a point that lies on the straight line segment that will divide the line in two parts such that the sum of length of two parts will be equal to the length of the line segment.
i.e.
GI = GH + HI
17 = 12 + HI
HI = 17 - 12 = 5 units
