A line contains points F, G, H, I, J. The space between F G is 2. The space between H and I is 1. The space between F and I is 7.
If FG = 2 units, FI = 7 units, and HI = 1 unit, what is GH?

Based on the segment addition postulate, the length of GH is: 4 units.

What is the Segment Addition Postulate?

The segment addition postulate states that if a line segment is divided into smaller parts, the sum of the length of the smaller parts equals the length of the line segment.

  • FG = 2 units
  • FI = 7 units
  • HI = 1 unit
  • GH = ?

FI = FG + HI + GH [segment addition postulate]

7 = 2 + 1 + GH

7 = 3 + GH

7 - 3 = GH

4 = GH

GH = 4 units.
