Question

Find the missing side length. Assume that all intersecting sides meet at right angles. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer. Explanation Check 14 ft 4 ft 10 ft 9 ft 6 ft ?

Answer 1

Given:

AC=14 ft, and GH=9ft

Required:

We need to find the missing side length.

Explanation:

Draw a horizontal line from F to B.

We know that the length of AB is equal to DF and also BC=GH.

Substitute GH=9ft, we get BC=9 ft.

$We\text{ know that }AC=AB+BC$

Substitute AC=14 and BC =9 in the equation.

$14=AB+9$

Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation.

$14-9=AB+9-9$$5=AB$

The length of RF is 5 ft.

Final answer:

The length of the missing side is 5 ft.
