Answer

14 cm\text{14 cm}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Find the length of GM using the Pythagorean theorem in △FMG\triangle FMG.

    In right-angled △FMG\triangle FMG, we have FG2=FM2+GM2FG^2 = FM^2 + GM^2.

    132=122+GM213^2 = 12^2 + GM^2 169=144+GM2169 = 144 + GM^2 GM2=169−144GM^2 = 169 - 144 GM2=25GM^2 = 25 GM=25GM = \sqrt{25} GM=5 cmGM = 5 \text{ cm}
  2. Find the length of MH using the Pythagorean theorem in △FMH\triangle FMH.

    In right-angled △FMH\triangle FMH, we have FH2=FM2+MH2FH^2 = FM^2 + MH^2.

    152=122+MH215^2 = 12^2 + MH^2 225=144+MH2225 = 144 + MH^2 MH2=225−144MH^2 = 225 - 144 MH2=81MH^2 = 81 MH=81MH = \sqrt{81} MH=9 cmMH = 9 \text{ cm}
  3. Calculate the total length of GH.

    The length of GH is the sum of GM and MH.

    GH=GM+MHGH = GM + MH GH=5 cm+9 cmGH = 5 \text{ cm} + 9 \text{ cm} GH=14 cmGH = 14 \text{ cm}

    The length of GH is 14 cm\text{14 cm}.
