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

<h3>What is the Segment Addition Postulate?</h3>

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.
