• HJ = 23.5 in

$\textsf{ \underline{\underline{Steps to solve the problem} }:}$

Take HJ = a, GH = b and GJ = c

• a = b + 2

• c = a + b - 17

• a + b + c = 73

put the value of a from equation 1 in equation 2

• c = (b + 2) + b − 17

• c = 2b − 15

now, put the value of a and c in equation 3

• b + 2 + b + 2b − 15 = 73

• 4b − 13 = 73

• 4b = 86

• b = 21.5 in

Now, we need to find HJ (a)

• a = b + 2

• a = 21.5 + 2

• a = 23.5 in

• HJ = 23.5 in
