Answer:
6 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Points H and F lie on circle with center C. EG = 12, EC = 9 and ∠GEC = 90°.
To find: Length of GH.
Sol: EC = CH = 9 (Radius of the same circle are equal)
Now, GC = GH + CH
GC = GH + 9
Now In ΔEGC, using pythagoras theorem,
......(ΔEGC is a right triangle)
Now, Let GH = <em>x</em>
On rearranging,
So x = 6 and x = - 24
∵ x cannot be - 24 as it will not satisfy the property of right triangle.
Therefore, the length of line segment GH = 6 units. so, Option (D) is the correct answer.
