Here's the solution to the frustum problem:

Given Information:

  • Frustum of a right pyramid with rectangular base ABCD.
  • AB=12AB = 12 cm, BC=9BC = 9 cm.
  • Top rectangular face EFGH with EH=8EH = 8 cm.
  • Height of the frustum (hh) = 10 cm.

Part (a): Find the length of GH.

Step 1: Determine the ratio of similarity between the top and bottom bases.
Since the frustum is from a right pyramid with a rectangular base, the top face EFGH is similar to the bottom face ABCD.
The ratio of corresponding sides is constant. We can use the sides EHEH and BCBC.
