If CH=42 m and CF=58 m , then what is the length of FG ?

Answer 1

To find the length of FG, we first need to find the length of the whole segment CF. This can be done by using the Pythagorean theorem:

CF^2 = CH^2 + FH^2
58^2 = 42^2 + FH^2
3364 = 1764 + FH^2
FH^2 = 1600
FH = 40 m

Now, to find the length of FG, we subtract FH from FC:
FG = CF - FH
FG = 58 - 40
FG = 18 m

Therefore, the length of FG is 18 meters.
