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.
[tex]We\text{ know that }AC=AB+BC[/tex]
Substitute AC=14 and BC =9 in the equation.
[tex]14=AB+9[/tex]
Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation.
[tex]14-9=AB+9-9[/tex][tex]5=AB[/tex]
The length of RF is 5 ft.
Final answer:
The length of the missing side is 5 ft.
