       EG
       FG
       FH<--- my answer

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

what did you get for DE, EG, FG and FH?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you subtract the values to find the lengths of the segments

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

example: from F to G = 8-11 = -3

take the absolute value: |-3| = 3

FG is 3 units long

anonymous · Answer

DE <--- -3- -6=3
       EG <-- -6 - 8= -14
       FG<-- 8 - 11=-3
       FH<---- 8-13=-5

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

EG should be from -6 to +11

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so either -6 - 11 = -17 

|-17| = 17

or

11 - (-6) = 11+6 = 17

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

EG is 17 units long

anonymous · Answer

is then is will eg is the longest

anonymous · Answer
